2005 Tryst

This blend of Viognier and Rousanne has beautiful scents of apricots and peaches on the nose. The wine is very soft with an intense nose, peachy flavors and great viscosity that disappears with a “poof” on the finish.

Winemaker's Notes

One third Viognier and 2/3 Rousanne, both grapes are from Lonesome Springs Ranch in Eastern Washington. Each wine was fermented in neutral wood, and to soften it further, the blend was taken through malolactic fermentation.
