I get a lot of samples from various wineries, mostly those with pretty large output, and only when one rises to the top do I feel the need to share it to my readers. I have a bit of a bug about California Viognier. It's usually too heady, too alcoholic, syrupy, and way overpriced.
The Crusher, a product of the Three Loose Screws division of Don Sebastiani, is pretty high in alcohol at 14.9%, but has decent acidity to balance it out, great typicity in the aromas for Viognier and is a shocking $12.99 a bottle. What's even more surprising is that it's from Clarksburg, not Napa.This is simply delicious and recommended.
It is definitely worth trying. Out of the wines from Crusher this is the main one I would recommend. Other seem to lack a little bit....
Thanks for the post.
