Lovely aromas of pear, pome blossoms, and a hint of pine wood impressed.
Light-plus body with good acidity and a complex flavor profile reflective of the aromas and hints of citrus and pineapple impressed as well.
Finished long on the trailing palate, subtle ginger notes, and a big, but balanced 14.2% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my Yellow-fin tuna salad.
Thanks to Sara B. for the recommendation, and to the manager of NHLS #67 for digging this one out from West Lebanon.

Now this sounds like a Vinomaker wine, he just loves Viognier.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of info on the label!!!
VG: I've become a fan.
DeleteI was listening to a wine spokesperson commenting that white wines don't score (negative term;) as well as red wines, so I try hard to appreciate a good white wine when I find one; this was such a wine.
If you have any experiences with the winey I'd like to know your impressions. If commenting is a problem, please e-mail me.
Well, that wine spokesperson has probably never tried a Montrachet...probably couldn't even afford one.
ReplyDeleteI will try to seek out this Viognier, but, like I have mentioned in the past, the selection of wines available to you is far superior to anything I can get in Napa.
VG: Montrachet (Chardonnay), a wine I've been wanting to taste, but can't afford either.
