Kobler 2023 Viognier Russian River

$ 3499

Tasting Notes

Kobler’s 2023 Viognier from the Russian River Valley shows the varietal at its most expressive, delivering a perfumed, textural white that balances richness with the cool‑climate lift the region naturally provides. The wine opens with heady aromas of white peach, apricot flesh, honeysuckle, jasmine, and a touch of orange blossom, supported by subtle notes of Meyer lemon oil and fresh ginger. On the palate it is supple and rounded yet never heavy, with Viognier’s signature stone‑fruit generosity framed by the Russian River’s bright acidity, giving the wine a clean, persistent finish. The winery emphasizes the purity of fruit and floral intensity achieved from their cool‑morning, warm‑afternoon site, noting that the 2023 vintage produced especially vibrant aromatics and a beautifully balanced texture. As a varietal, Viognier is known for its lush mouthfeel, exotic aromatics, and low natural acidity, and this bottling captures those traits while retaining enough freshness to keep the wine lively and food‑friendly. Ideal pairings include Thai or Vietnamese dishes with aromatic herbs, roast chicken with citrus, seared scallops, crab cakes, soft cheeses like triple‑cream brie, and dishes featuring stone‑fruit glazes or ginger‑based sauces, all of which echo the wine’s floral and peach‑driven profile.
