2018 Stagecoach Vineyard Viognier
Sustainably Farmed Vineyard - A Yves Gangloff Collaboration
What I love about making Viognier from the Stagecoach Vineyard is that the resulting wine is such a reflection of the vineyard and vintage. This vintage showed a lot of mineral in its core, but ripe peaches, dried apricots, honey and wisp of white flowers in its aromatics. On the palate this wine is a full-bodied luxurious experience that’s a mirror image of its aromatics, but with a touch of licorice in the forever flowing finish.

Tasting Notes
91 Pts Jeb Dunnuck - Starting with the 2018 Viognier 2 Guys 2 Barrels from Cohn, this always has a Condrieu-like vibe and offers lots of apricot, exotic stone fruits, orange blossom, and hints of
toasted bread. It’s elegant, medium-bodied, and balanced, with both richness and
freshness. Drink it over the coming 2-4 years.
