A very aromatic nose full of tropical fruit, predominantly lychee fruit, jasmine petals, and light honeysuckle. Stirring the lees two times a week over a five month period produced a full-bodied, viscous mouth-feel. Notes of white peach and nectarine on the mid-palate, followed by a long, pleasing aftertaste. A perfect accompaniment with dried fruit, cheese, fruit salads, and wild game, especially quail!

At the Baranek Family Vineyard there are only sixteen rows of well-cared for grapes that are planted in Clarksburg, a sleepy town located in the Sacramento Delta area. Sunny and hot in the summer with cool, breeze filled nights, it is an ideal location for growing Viognier.

Ratings & Reviews

Wine Enthusiast Magazine (2008 vintage):
"Sweet in jammy apricots and pineapples, with even richer notes of smoky vanilla and buttered toast. Crisp acidity fortunately provides some balance. From Venge Vineyards.  — S.H.  (12/1/2009)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2007 vintage):
"From Clarksburg, the 2007 Viognier is a fragrant, dry, medium-bodied effort displaying plenty of lychee nut, apricot, and peach characteristics. This dry white is best consumed during the first 1-2 years of life." - Robert Parker (Dec 2008)
