Joseph Phelps Viognier 750ml 2002     
Sku: 6009407

86 Ponts This year’s Viognier is a full-bodied wine with lovely notes of honeysuckle and lime, and a richness on the palate that creates a long, oily texture.The 2002 growing season began drier and cooler than the previous year, while June, July and August reflected typical North Coast weather patterns (cool foggy mornings and warm afternoons), resulting in excellent color and flavor development. However, Sep-tember saw a dramatic change in weather with high temperatures, the absence of fog, and a dry north wind raising sugars and lowering acids throughout the vineyards. Finally, at the beginning of October, the return of moderate temperatures allowed fruit to ripen to desired maturity levels.
