2007 The Crusher, Wilson Vineyard, Clarksburg

This pale straw colored wine bears a slight glint of steely blue. Intense aromas of jasmine and clove unfold with hints of apricot and peach. The palate has a luscious, nectar like texture, abundant with apricot grit and sweet white peach flavors, and a finish of star anise, vanilla and juicy Bartlett pear.

This is a Don Sebastiani and Sons wine. This is a soft, crisp viognier.

Aromas: nectarine, white peach, apricot, clove, jasmine
Body: medium
Color: pale straw yellow

Eat with: olive oil poached tuna tartine, (open faced sandwich) grilled country bread, wild arugula, hard-boiled egg, shaved radish, olive vinaigrette, pickled vegetables
