I really enjoyed this wine, and yet I can only imagine how wonderfully the floral and spice of the viognier might have 'popped' had I drank it a couple of years earlier.
Clear, medium lemon green color. Clean, crisp bright nose of pear and light floral essence. Medium bodied with a buttery mouthful. The high acidity is balanced nicely by the strong, juicy, floral tinged pear flavors, which give way to vegetal, river stone qualities and a zippy, spicy ginger finish.
I'm not sure what I'd pair this with, perhaps something with ginger to compliment the finish? Although, I did once add viognier to a split pea soup recipe, and now I won't make split pea soup without some viognier handy :). (usually Yalumba).
