This North Coast AVA Brut sparkling wine is blended with 41% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, 9% Pinot Gris, 9% Pinot Meunier and 6% Pinot Blanc.
Ripe apricot jam, orange blossom, baking spice, and fresh pastry aromas co-mingle together on the nose. The orange flavor is followed by notes of stone fruit coupled with tropical fruit continuing onto the palate, which is rich and creamy on the mid palate. The finish is a long vanilla bean flavor that carefully coats the fruit flavors. This wine will continue to evolve in opulence as it ages in the bottle.
This estate Viognier hails from a south facing block of the vineyard at 2100 ft. where the soil is comprised of decomposed granite with layers of clay and loam producing a floral wine. This block is named "Lady" for the Mirador winery dog. Lady, an English Springer Spaniel, spends most of her days in this block assisting with vineyard management by chasing birds out of the vineyard as well as chasing geese and ducks out of the pond near the gazebo.
