2023 Kobayashi Viognier | Walla Walla, Washington 750ml

Lifted, floral, and waiting to blossom. Fresh white lilac mixed with tight orange flowers not yet bloomed are in the top of the aromatics joined by mandarin and white peach. The complete structural balance is striking as the weight of ripeness is borne by playful acidity. Quite far into the finish, there is a welcome element of complexity - fresh lavender and pine nut - telling of a path to fullness that this wine will follow in years to come. | falling Bright
