93 Points to Cowhorn Viognier!

Wine Enthusiast rated the Cowhorn Winery 2009 Viognier a 93 points! To my knowledge, that is the highest score given to a white wine from Southern Oregon. It was also designated Editor's Choice. The review will be published in the March issue.

The 2009 Viognier was estate grown in the Applegate Valley. The Cowhorn Vineyards are biodynamic and organic certified. It was harvested at 24 brix and fermented with native yeast. The wine saw 16% new French oak and 84% neutral French oak aging. Only 65 cases were produced.

Congratulations to Bill and Barbara Steele for crafting this delicious wine!
