Wine Details
Price:
$30.00 per bottle
Description:
This amazingly succulent, exotic and sexy wine opens with intense and opulently rich aromas of white peach, pineapple, vanilla and spices. Then is gets better and better, with flavors of peach, pear, vanilla, cardamom, nutmeg and grapefruit which shortly give rise to apricot and jasmine. This sweet but incredibly well-balanced wine stands perfectly with citrus-like acidity and finishes fresh, clean and lingering. Drink now through 2012.

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.
