About the wine
Crack some crab with this bottle on ice
- Mmmm, Viognier. David's doing this creamy white justice. It's got great texture – full of fruits like peaches and pears – and floods your nose with sweet flowers like honeysuckle and jasmine.
- Clarksburg is an up-and-coming AVA, and it takes a regional expert to discover the best vineyards and sort the good from the great. That's why you funded David!
- David says: "Always have a glass with fresh Dungeness crab and sourdough bread...always." Listen to your winemaker.
Best before
2-3 years of nice cellaring. It will age well beyond that, too, but over the years the frit becomes a unique entity of its own...
Serving advice
It's drinking rather nicely now, so enjoy it lightly chilled close to cellar temp.
Food match
A nicely grilled chicken with a slightly sweet, tangy marinade would be a sporty match. Diver scallops napped with a citrus/ponzu reduction could be a perfect match. Always have a glass with fresh Dungeness crab and sourdough bread...always.
