Wine Details
Price:
$20.00 per bottle
Description:
This wine opens with intense aromas of white peach and grapefruit which shortly give rise to apricot, jasmine and cardamom with some time in the glass. The medium-bodied impression in the mouth introduces the flavors of star fruit and tarragon with a hint of barrel spice. This heavier white wine showcases a rare balance of power and elegance with perfectly balanced acidity.

Varietal Definition
Viognier:
The most acclaimed white wine grape from France's Rhône Valley, Viognier is a highly aromatic varietal, with a flavor profile that could include peach, apricot, nectarine, lichee, musk and flower blossom. The heady perfume of this varietal is one of its trademarks, although its flavors are sometimes problematic in matching with food. However, it does well with lobster, crab and moderately flavored fish. Use it as an apéritif as an alternative to Chardonnay. The "Rhône Rangers" in California have done an excellent job promoting this varietal.
