December 9, 2011 - Fascinating aromas of spiced orange rinds, almost reminiscent of Grand Marnier leap out of the glass. A little further exploration opens up notes of river stones, ripe peaches, and lemon zest, creating an extremely intriguing combination that makes this wine incredibly inviting.
Rich and supple at once, this wine shows the same spiced orange rind that appeared so prevalently on the aroma firmly at its core. Notes of lemon rind tossed in honey and brown sugar appear shortly after, leading into notes of peach and stone. A complex and refined wine with wonderful richness balanced by a fresh juiciness, this is a classic example of Viognier.
