Community Tasting Note

• jkscully Likes this wine:

  March 18, 2023 - This has all the nice characteristics of Viognier: ripe peach, apricot, honey, butterscotch, smokey minerals, with candied ginger, white pepper, and sweet flowers on the finish. Just a faint hint of popcorn/cereal on the finish too. Oily rich texture with lanolin notes. I can’t think of anything bad to say about it, but I also feel like it doesn’t pop the way a top Condrieu can and my food pairings didn’t work out as well as I was hoping (not necessarily the wine’s fault). Very good, but not in the same league as the Vernay Coteau de Vernon from a few months ago (to be fair, that wine was over twice the price as this one and it is considered the top Condreiu out there). Like the Vernay, I liked this better on it’s own, which is too bad, because I’ve had some great Viognier and food pairings.
