The 2007 Viognier represents the sixth vintage from the same vineyard in Lodi. Bill strongly believes that viognier needs more warmth in the vineyard than Sonoma County can typically be assured of providing each year, thus he chose to source the fruit far afield from his base in the Alexander Valley.
Sadly, there will not be a 2008 or 2009 vintage. Arbios, perhaps suffering from a bit of viognier fatigue (it's not the most loyal of subjects), is taking a pass on these two years. But, weather permitting, there should be a '10. In '11, that is.
And to keep it in your mind's eye, here's a nice writeup about it: Viognier blog.
When served cool, the 2007 Viognier shows off its grapefruity tanginess; as it warms, the inherent body of viognier steps up with yellow flower and stone fruit accents. It’s an apt match for exotically sauced fish, chicken and white meat dishes.
