  NobleRottersSydney - Shiraz-Viognier (Alio's, Surry Hills): [screwcap, 13.5%, $25] {Kim} The viognier positively leaps out of the glass, with its floral, exotic apricot aromas riding all over some slightly jammy ripe shiraz beneath. The palate is ripe and exotic too, sort-of dry, but with minimal acid and soft tannins it tends to really show off the vionier and present a rather greasy texture, although even this thins out rather quickly on the finish. Medium-bodied, with some spicy shiraz fruits, it still all fades too fast on the palate for real interest. Why all the trophies for this wine? Beats me…
