The Vice "The Lakers" Orange of Viognier Oak Knoll District 2021
The Vice was founded by husband and wife Malek Amrani & Torie Greenberg. The aim is to produce luxury wines in the Napa Valley made in small batches. Malek and Torie Greenberg work tirelessly to build The Vice as the brand of choice for wine diehards and first-timers, balancing the classic quality of California vineyards with a current understanding and unwavering awareness of consumer trends. Malek handles the winemaking, and Torie is responsible for all things visual & branding.
"The Lakers" offers a lush bouquet of dry peach, dry apricot and kumquat on the nose. The palate is rich and velvety with a long finish that stretches out hints of vanilla and toasted almond. Orange zest, tropical fruit, and lemongrass make it an excellent wine to have with spicy Thai food, Korean BBQ, or hot pot.
