2009 Le Paradou Viognier

Community Tasting Note

80 Points

Sunday, May 13, 2012 - Color: Pale gold.

Nose: Golden delicious apple, Asian pear, and peach fuzz, with crushed rock and a floral lift. Decent nose, but not the intense aromatics you expect from good Viognier.

Mouthfeel: Light-bodied.

Palate: Apple juice, canned pears, and a hint of the mineral note from the nose. But watery and bland, and flat as well due to low acidity. No off-notes or anything off-putting, but not much in the other direction either.

To be fair, it's what you would expect for the money, and there's nothing wrong with it. But it's an anonymous bottle of wine made from one of the least anonymous of grapes. Wouldn't buy again.
