K Vintners Art Den Hoed Vineyard 2019 (USA: WA - Yakima Valley) (ID# 3811)

Name K Vintners Art Den Hoed Vineyard 2019 (ID# 3811)
Varietal Viognier
Region USA: WA - Yakima Valley
Notes "Sliced-pineapple, vanilla and light honey character. It’s full-bodied with a firm line of acidity running through the center palate. Tight and focused. Round texture with nice phenolic tension." (James Suckling) "Tangy scents of yellow peach, spices and spring flowers, accented by pungent chalky minerality. Juicy and intense but quite laid-back and dry, with stone fruit and underripe pineapple flavors currently dominating. Showing the fruity side of the variety in the early going but has good mineral support as well." (Vinous)

Additional Notes

"The 2019 Viognier Art Den Hoed Vineyard offers an aromatically pleasing kaleidoscope of floral and fruit expressions on the nose. Juicy and ripe notions of yellow apple, white peach, cereal grain, jasmine and honeysuckle float out of the glass with pear blossom and sweet citrus elements. Medium to full-bodied, the wine offers a broad and complex mouthfeel with fresh, clean fruit tones before offering a kiss of phenolic bitterness across the mid-palate. The Viognier concludes with a youthful and generous finish. Just under 21,000 bottles were filled after the wine rested for four months on the lees in neutral barriques. For the price, this bottling clearly is punching above its weight class." (Wine Advocate)
