Riggs also demonstrates a nice touch with Viognier, emphasizing the more steely, mineral side of that varietal as opposed to the tooty-fruity, bubble gum-styled efforts produced by many New World wineries. Aged three months in neutral wood, the 2005 Viognier reveals good body, elegance, and precision. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Importer: Ben Hammerschlag, Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA; tel.
