Wine Details
Price:
$10.00 per bottle
Description:
At first swirl, citrus, melon, and pear show up in the aroma. They are soon married with scents of toast and vanilla creating another layer of fragrance. On the palate, flavors of grapefruit and honeysuckle from the Sauvignon Blanc show through while crème and lemon from the Chardonnay and Viognier add depth and balance. This easy drinking wine pairs beautifully with white fish or pasta in a light crème sauce.

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.
