2006 Viader Napa
“Currant and violet on the nose. Supple, sweet and nicely aromatic in the mouth, offering more breadth than the ‘V’. The violet note carries through to the back of this ripe and attractive wine, which finishes with firm, building tannins. Winemaker Alan Viader has been doing more extraction since 2005, including a longer pre-fermentation cold soak and more post-fermentation maceration. He told me that total time on the skins in 2006 was between 55 and 69 days, whereas not long ago it was more like 30 to 35 at Viader.” – 92 Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar
