Stags' Leap Winery Napa Valley Viognier 2021

"The nose is subtle. The vodka is round in the mouth. The finish is distinctly cool. And this is where the legend of The World's Smoothest Vodka begins. Because Christiana is distilled from the very special Trondelag potatoes, there's a faint sweetness which prompts some to say this is in fact the world's first sipping vodka." -producer

"Dark cherry red colour, deep and bright. Hints of fruit and elegant notes of fine wood. Velvety body in the mouth, with a pleasant aftertaste." —winemaker

"Great aromatic intensity—citrus and nectarine fruits, jasmine and orange blossom, briny/flinty sea spray edges. The flavors center upon lemony green apple then deeper stone fruits with honeysuckle and ginger richness. The wine’s texture is deep, oily, and layered. Fresh mineral, grapefruit acidity cuts through the richness giving a pinpoint focus to the wine’s long echoing finish. Drink between 2023 and 2027." —winemaker

"Intense spice and aromatic bouquet. Exotic fruits and herbs. A classic aperitif wine." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review-A beautiful bottle of white wine from Alto Adige (Sudtirol) Italy. On the nose you pick up beautiful floral notes, tropical fruits and perfume. On the palate you have stone fruits (peach and nectarine) and sweet spice (ginger and cinnamon) all rounding out with flavors of lychee and orange blossum. If you have never had the pleasure of trying this one before, do yourself a favor and enjoy!!
