TASTING NOTES

Hawley Wines

1999 Viognier
Varietal/Style: Viognier
Origin: Dry Creek Valley, CA
Vintage:
1999
Winemaker: John Hawley
Rating: 13/20
Retail Price: $21.50


Tasting Notes: This limited release (600 cases) from the Dry Creek Valley offers a perfumed nose reminiscent of honeysuckle. Creamy in the mouth from a hint of malolactic fermentation, it finishes with strong licorice flavors. Served chilled, it is just the right antidote for the summer heat. (Date tasted 08/26/00)

Profile: Although John Hawley played an instrumental role in turning two California wineries into mega-brands (Kendell Jackson and Clos du Bois), he's scaled down in a big way. Today, Hawley focuses on four wines, Viognier, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon, from his own ten-acre vineyard in the Dry Creek Valley.
