Dichotomy Viognier · Yakima Valley, Washington · 2023

The Moment

The first glass gets poured before dinner is ready.

Someone’s chopping herbs, the pan is warm, and suddenly the room smells like peach, apricot, and orange blossom before the bottle has even made it around the table.

That’s the beauty of Viognier when it’s done right — and the 2023 Dichotomy Viognier brings exactly that energy.

It’s aromatic, textured, and generous, but still bright enough to feel like it belongs with food instead of stealing the whole show.

What It Feels Like

Yakima Valley can make Viognier that feels especially compelling because it knows how to do both things at once:

sun-ripened fruit and real freshness.

That means you get the classic Viognier notes — ripe stone fruit, floral lift, a little silk on the palate — without the wine tipping into heaviness.

This is the kind of bottle that feels right when the table is casual, the cooking is a little ambitious, and nobody’s in a rush.

In the Glass

Apricot, white peach, orange blossom, and honeysuckle.

Palate

Why We Love This Bottle

A Strong Washington Viognier Lane
Yakima Valley has become one of the best places in the U.S. for expressive, balanced Viognier.

Aromatic Without Going Heavy
The fruit is lush, but the freshness keeps it moving.

Built for the Table
A natural fit for seafood, roast chicken, richer salads, or lightly spiced dishes.

This is a white that feels inviting, polished, and just a little more interesting than the usual suspects.

Pair It With

• Grilled shrimp or scallops
• Roast chicken with herbs
• Peach + burrata salad
• Thai or Vietnamese dishes
• Triple-cream cheese or soft-ripened cheeses
