TERRE ROUGE 2023 Viognier (Fiddletown, CA)

TERRE ROUGE and Easton Wines was founded in the late 80s by husband and wife team Bill Easton and Jane O'Riordan. Winemaker Bill Easton began his career in the wine business working for small California wineries. In the late 70s he founded Solano Cellars, a wine shop in Berkley. This shop became foundational to his wine journey, as he tasted and travelled and honed his winemaking skills. He indeed became quite the legend. His style is French, with balance and elegance in the bottle.

TERRE ROUGE means "Red Earth" and is a reference to the vermillion-colored soils that are a hallmark of the region. Vineyards are planted in granite and volcanic based soils. They plant Rhone-style varietals here. 

This Viognier is an ode to the Rhone style Viognier - floral, full, kiwi-kumquat laden & smooth.
