Vibrant yellow color. This wine shows intense aromas of peach, apricot, lemon, and honey. With aeration, some hints of mango, pear, cinnamon and fig become noticeable. Upon taste, rich layers of lemon and creme brulee are complemented with crisp, refreshing acidity. With only trace amounts of neutral oak, this wine shows un-paralleled weight and complexity. This Viognier should drink well now for up to 4-5 years.
