I very much like the intensity and drive here

It brings a sense of purity that delights

Loads of floral and red berry aromas with cherry

The texture is fleshy and tight

There is no Howell Mountain peak – the AVA is named for the tiny Howell Mountain township

FRIULI: Temperate

This viognier is a blend of two vineyard sites--Mountain View vineyard in Roanoke

founded in 1978 and based in Bordeaux
