Iron Horse has one of the most consistent Viognier records in California, with a style all their own. From their mountain vineyard in Alexander Valley, the ’06 shows tremendous balance, with an exciting tension between dry, minerally acidity and Viognier’s exotic fruit and wildflower flavors. The wine was stainless-steel fermented and did not undergo malolactic fermentation, which helps account for the cleanliness.——S.H.(11/1/2007)—— 92
