Slater Run Vineyards RocketFish 2023 Review
In 2010 Slater Run Farm became Slater Run Vineyard when it planted grape vines to add to its now-300-year-old farm along Goose Creek in Virginia. Viognier has been a staple in the Commonwealth for years now and this skin-macerated version of it is delicious. It has a tropical, waxy nose with hints of honey and melon. The palate is drying yet maintains character and aroma.
