Reviewed June 2023A brilliant expression of the variety, the 2022 Viognier Art Den Hoed Vineyard has tight, almost reductive aromatics of tart apricots, bananas, and salted citrus. It’s pure, medium to full-bodied, has a gorgeous texture, and outstanding length. Coming all from a site in the Yakima Valley and aged in equal parts concrete and used barrels, it will have 2-4 years of prime drinking. It’s one of the finest Viognier outside of Condrieu.

The 2022 Viognier K Art Den Hoed is spicy in the glass, wafting up with exotic florals, lime and young peach. It’s nearly glycerol in feel, with saline minerals and zesty acidity to balance. Sour citrus offsets ripe pit fruits. This tapers off spicy with medium-length and dried apricot notes.

This has lovely aromas of almond blossom, salted yellow plums, apricot stones, mangosteens and saltines. It’s medium- to full-bodied with creamy, clean layers. Excellent freshness. Delicious now.

Wine Advocate
Just bottled and set to be released this month, the 2022 Viognier Art Den Hoed Vineyard is slightly reductive in the glass with hints of cereal grain, sweet citrus, quince and a soft floral element of citrus blossom and peach skin. Medium to full-bodied, rich and focused, the palate gradually opens to a delightful and balanced frame; this will remain food-friendly until its 10th birthday. For the price, few Viogniers can compete with this quality level. Buy the entire case. (AM)
