Mark Ryan Viognier Columbia Valley 2012

Rating: **** 1/2

Price: $30

A perfumed wine with honeysuckle, peach, mineral notes, and toasty barrel accents. The palate is medium-plus bodied with richness and weight without ever becoming oily or overly viscous. This wine walks the balance beam perfectly and Mark Ryan continues to make this variety as well as anyone in the state. 100% Viognier. Ciel du Cheval, Red Willow, and Olsen vineyards. Fermented and aged seven months in used French oak (74%), Stainless steel (16%), and concrete egg. 14.2% alcohol. 800 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.
