Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
We’ve met quite a few superb AZ Viogniers over the years and are convinced that it will have a place in this state for many years to come. Some of our favorite Viognier comes from the Asmundson family at Deep Sky Vineyards. Every year, it makes a classic Viognier with trademark characters of quince/pear, white blossoms and an elegant softness. Only 24 cases Produced.
