Description:
A wine of distinction, this fine Viognier presents orange/peach blossom aromas. An array of flavors fill the palate , beginning with tangerine and a hint of peach, and finishing with toasty vanilla with fine acidity unmarred by heavy oak. This wine begs for an accompaniment of gourmet fish, shellfish (such as pan seared scallops and shrimp) and white meat entrees.

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.
