Description:
This lovely dry pale straw colored Viognier bursts with classic aromas of peach and dried apricot typical of the varietal, followed by floral overtones and hints of citrus orange peel. The mouth feel is soft and silky showing typical Viognier fruit character of peach and apricot. These flavors are well balanced with a soft creamy mid palate that carries to the back and has a lingering long finish of fresh fruit and floral notes.

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.
