Hawley Wine
Viognier |
2006 Hawley Viognier
Placer County
This 100% Viognier shows its typical peach and jasmine-like flavors, along with citrus and spice notes. Its complex flavors mingle honeysuckle, pineapple, peach, apricot and orange blossoms. with a wonderfully light, clean fruity aroma. The mouth feel is luscious with moderate acidity, and a long fruity finish.

I first encountered Viognier as an importer as Condrieu back in 1984. I had the great pleasure of representing the two Top producers of this rare wine Paul Multier of Chateau du Rozay and Georges Vernay. I have loved it ever since. It is a rarity to find truly exceptional Viognier made anywhere outside the Condrieu appellation and I have tried many. This one from John Hawley is amazing. It is Barrel Fermented and put through ML which adds roundness, creamy texture and addition complexity lacking in other Viognier's.
I just had the Guigal and while impressive, this Hawley is better and at less money.
Pairs well with Seared Scallops with Truffle Infusion
