2005 VIOGNIER ICE WINE
Roll Ranch, California

Each year we take the entire production of the two acres planted to viognier at the Roll Ranch and turn it into a couple hundred cases of this dessert wine. By freezing the grapes and then pressing out only the sweetest nectar, we literally extract the essence of this vineyard. The 2005 viognier follows the style of the last several ice wines we've made; it is quite sweet (30% residual sugar), low in alcohol (8%) and particularly delicious with fruit-based desserts.
