It is not easy to fashion Viognier into a complex wine, but Ehren Jordan has handled this fickle varietal beautifully. His 2005 Viognier Alban Vineyard boasts notes of quince, crushed rocks, white flowers, and exotic tropical fruits in its well-defined aromatics. Dry, medium-bodied, and intensely fruity, this fresh, character-filled white can be enjoyed over the next 1-2 years as it is atypically complex for a California Viognier.
