Winemakers Notes
Tasting Notes: "It's like going into a department store, and before your can say Stop!' some perky thing in a floral print blasts you with the latest from Yves St. Ralph!" Not this Viognier! Sure, you will detect a hint of jasmine, but peach and grapefruit take center stage upstairs in the Aroma Dept. Meanwhile, in the Flavor Dept. (1st floor, just past Lingerie), you'll taste those peaches and grapefruits along with a touch of clove spice. Perfect for your holiday, or everyday, shopping experience!

Reviews for 2005 Vintage
A lingering moment on the palate yields a near-perfect blend of sweetness and acidity that I find most refreshing. With a balanced astringency and a super-silky, almost chewy mouthfeel, plus a taste of allspice and white raisins, this wine breathes, tastes, and feels like a wine that my friends (and yours) will find memorable, whether on a Summer day or a Fall evening. As for the finish, I say “hello” to only an acquaintance of acidity and tannin. I like Viognier this way — tapered layers of sweetness, structure, and finish. And I’m not typically a white wine drinker.
The 2007 Calaveras County Viognier is also a good choice from this twisted winery for those who enjoy a light refreshing white.
I love a good citrusy Viognier (I usually find them too sweet) and this fits the bill. You will also get a hit of other fine fruits without it being a fruit bomb. I do not like super fruity or sweet whites. This one was the perfect balance of fruit and citrus without being too dry or too sweet.......just right! This wine is a perfect wine to begin your evening with and enjoy into dinner. This wine will not disappoint!
Seriously good. Aromas and flavors characteristic of the varietal: flowers, citrus, intriguing notes of mandarin orange. Well balanced, with sweet attack yet dry in the mouth.

(1st floor, just past Lingerie), you'll taste those peaches and grapefruits along with a touch of clove spice and a touch of oak. Perfect for your holiday, or everyday, shopping experience! Food Pairings: Give it the bird! Chicken, turkey, quail. Pad Thai, shrimp enchiladas, fettucini Alfredo, with or without SPAM! Just sip one glass and you'll hear a tale. A tale of a tasteful trip. That started with this Viognier, aboard this winery ship. The mate was a mighty winemaker, the assistant brave and sure. The Twisted Few set sail that day for a winemaking tour, a winemaking tour. The weather started getting rough, the vineyard almost lost. If not for the courage of the cellar crew the flavors would be lost, the flavors would be lost. Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah something something something isle, with coconuts, papayas too. Taste butterscotch, apricots. A touch of oak, the finish and Mary Ann, in this Twisted Oak Wine.
