Wine Details
Price:
$24.00 per bottle
Description:
"Watch out when you pour a glass of the 2007 Kunde Estate Viognier! It's packed so full of intense ripe flavors that they may just explode out of the bottle and bowl you over. Exotic, heady aromas of ripe peach, spice, and flowers greet your senses, followed by the taste of orange marmalade, pepper, and the lingering scent of jasmine. Our suggestion is to have a glass while cooking up some delicious risotto studded with fresh peas and red peppers, perhaps with a little shrimp, and then enjoy another glass with the meal. It's a blissful combination."

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.
