Zaca Mesa Viognier Santa Ynez Valley Cushman Block 2022

Producer notes: Barrel fermentation and aging for 8 months in neutral oak . The 2022 Zaca Mesa Cushman Block Viognier delights with an aromatic nose of jasmine, sweet confection, crème brûlée, and the tropical allure of pineapple upside-down cake. On the palate, this Viognier presents a dry, crisp medium body, delivering vibrant flavors of key lime and lemon tart, with a subtle saline note that lingers pleasantly on the finish. Its versatility shines in pairings with both spicy and creamy dishes, such as pan-seared scallops with risotto, chile rellenos, or British-style Tikka Masala. It also serves as a refreshing and elegant aperitif.
