Nice New World Viognier

[Bucko]

2005 Bonterra, Viognier, Mendocino County, California, $18, 5,100 cases. Produced from certified organically grown grapes, the wine is quite floral and peachy on the nose. Well balanced, the stone fruit and tangerine flavors are enlivened by the bright acidity; 87/88.

Nicole Birdsall, one of the winemakers at Bonterra, gave a seminar at the Pinehurst Food and Wine Festival on organic and biodynamic grape growing. Better attendance than I expected. We sampled 6-8 Bonterra wines. I will report later on that tasting and others from the Labor Day weekend.
