Aequoria Viognier "SPANISH SPRINGS" San Luis Obispo County 750mL
| Vintage: | 2021 |

| Description: | While he has become known for his insanely delicious Petite Sirahs from Paso Robles, winemaker Aaron Jackson has recently expanded his portfolio and added some new flavors! Aequorea - which means "of the sea" in Latin - is focused on single vineyard wines from extreme coastal vineyards amidst San Luis Obispo County. Making Viognier is always such a challenge for Aaron, in that he aims for a style so much different than what is typically produced in California. Instead, he strives to make a Viognier that showcases what can be done with the variety on the extremes of the coast where it struggles to ripen. At only 2 miles from the ocean in Pismo Beach, Spanish Springs is on the edge of where Viognier can be grown. Super aromatic, floral, and loaded with brightness and minerality, the 2021 features a racy profile of white stone fruit, snappy citrus, freshly cut pineapple, and an amazing finish. The strong beam of natural acidity gives it freshness for days. Jeb Dunnuck 91 Points - "Bright citrus, honeyed melon, and some chalky mineral notes all emerge from the 2021 Viognier Spanish Springs, a juicy, medium-bodied, nicely balanced Viognier offering both richness and freshness. It's a terrific, outstanding example of the variety to drink over the coming year or two." |
