WINE DESCRIPTION

Charles Smith K Vintners' 'Powerline' Viognier is a standout expression of American winemaking, exclusively sourced from the Powerline Estate Vineyard, a sprawling 30-acre site perched at an elevation exceeding 1200 feet. Nestled in the Walla Walla Valley AVA, this vineyard, planted in 2012, benefits from unique terroir—the well-drained soils, laden with cobblestone river rocks and layers of sand and gravel, promote deep-rooted vines. Originating from the Blue Mountains, these cobblestones enrich the grapes with purity, while the elevation ensures high acidity. Crafted with meticulous winemaking, this Viognier boasts a balanced profile, harmonizing acidity with complex character, a testament to the exceptional quality harnessed from this distinctive Walla Walla Valley vineyard.
