2015 Michael Godel: 2015 Ava

The warmth of 2015 was not easy on this blend of viognier, marsanne and roussanne but the winemaking adjustment was made and so the approach simplifies things a bit, which is nice. Viognier without too much weight or alcohol, good floral support from roussanne and a spot or two of benevolent encouraging marsanne. The airy aromatic freshness of an early morning spring glade glides with lemon drop into honeyed lemon flavour. Could put away a glass of this when days are cold and when days are hot. Drink 2016-2019.
