Atrea The Choir 2009 comes from Saracina Ranch Winery & Vineyards in Mendocino County. The grapes are grown and certified biodynamic. This is a big wine, combining Rousanne and Viognier in concerto harmony. The wine is bright and bold with deep gold and a green tinge in the class. The nose is full of exotic aromas: ginger, peach, pear, jasmine and beeswax. Rousanne brings the fullness and weight, while the Viognier infuses the floral aromatics. In the mouth this is a big wine, providing weight and substance on the tongue and a soaring finish powering through the back of the mouth. For some it will feel hot but not to worry, chill well to dampen this effect. The Choir does indeed sing. 89 points.
