The stainless steel fermented and raised 2008 Viognier is light straw-colored with lovely pit fruit aromas and flavors. On the palate it is medium-bodied with superb concentration, ripe, dry flavors and impeccable balance, followed by a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Penner-Ash performed optimally in the face of the challenges presented by the 2007 vintage. Their 2007 Riesling is reviewed in the Value section of this report and should not be missed.www.pennerash.com
