Big and intense, yet complex and beautifully balanced, our 2009 Viognier displays strongly floral, honey-laden aromas of ripe peach, rose petal, lychee, orange blossom, papaya, citrus zest and anise. Full-bodied and luscious on the palate, its succulent white peach, honeyed citrus and tropical fruit flavors are balanced by firm underlying acidity and a refreshingly crisp mineral tone. Delicious for current drinking with citrus-glazed halibut or sea bass; creamed-sauced chicken dishes; pork chops; grilled Bockwurst; and creamy vegetable and potato soups, it will develop even greater richness and aromatic complexity with another 2-3 years of bottle age.
