J Bookwalter's third vintage of this co-fermented blend has resulted in another outstanding aromatic and flavorful white wine. The Chardonnay from the 2006 vintage was extraordinary and deserved to take center stage more so than the Viognier. The 2006 Chardonnay-Viognier is very tropical and shows aromas of mango and banana with only subtle hints of citrus and grassiness. Flavors of ripe pear, honeydew melons and pineapple are followed by a round, lush finish.
