Alexandria Nicole Cellars -2008 Viognier Crawford Vineyard (Columbia Valley, $20)
From Seattle Magazine, “Winemaker Jarrod Boyle creates this lush, aromatic Viognier by gently pressing whole-clusters of the best fruit from the Crawford Vineyard near Prosser, and fermenting in stainless steel tanks…to keep the freshness of the fruit. Judges noted its elegant style with “clover, honey and sweet stone-fruit” aromas, with good acid and fruit, and a nice, clean finish.
