TASTING NOTES:
“A classic Jaffurs Viognier, from the cool-climate Bien Nacido Vineyard. Floral aromatics, with pineapple and mineral notes, this wine fleshes out on the palate with juicy nectarine and focused acidity. 60% stainless-steel aging provides vibrancy and tension, with the balance aged in neutral oak, lending texture and developed aromatics.” (AbV 14.2%, 21.8˚ - 24.5˚ Brix, pH 3.25 - 3.5)

BARRELS:
6 months in 62% stainless steel and 38% neutral French oak on lees.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
The jawbreaker or, as they were first known, gobstopper is a round hard candy made with multiple layers. Typically each layer is a different color and/or flavor, so the longer you suck on them, the more the candy would change. The original name of gobstopper is a combination of gob, English slang for mouth, and stopper, due to them usually taking up the whole mouth. And most folks know them as jawbreakers because they’re dense enough to damage teeth when bit.
