Viognier takes well to the breezy climate and cool night temperatures of Willamette Valley, producing classic wines similar to those of this grape's home in Norther Rhone. Ilahe coaxes out Viognier's aromas, and maintains them through impeccable low-intervention cellar work. Characteristic floral and stone fruit aromas, with notes of honeysuckle, ripe peach, and citrus zest, and a rounded texture lifted by a streak of acidity that keeps it vibrant and food-friendly.
