Wine Press NW Platinum Award Winners
Double Platinum
2018 Reserve Viognier, Applegate Valley
“Cal Schmidt’s project not far from historic Jacksonville, Ore., is an honest family effort that goes beyond his daughter/grandson winemaking team and into his vineyard, their restaurant and tasting room. There’s attractive hedonism with this 100% barrel-fermented Viognier that’s far from over-oaked. Emblematic notes of orange Creamsicle and crushed banana give this enticing perfuminess and delicious weight, which achieves balance with ample acidity and a dash of white pepper to finish. (188 cases, 15.7% alc.) Award: Denver International Wine Competition (best of show). San Francisco Chronicle (Best of Class)
