Smoking Loon Viognier 2003

California, United StatesThis makes two hits in a row for Smoking Loon Viognier and I like the style of '04 is even better than the 03. It's a touch leaner which is the way to go but it's still packed with juicy honeysuckle orange fruit flavours and with flecks of melon, quince and pineapple throughout. Peking duck jumps to mind but it will also pair well with roast turkey at this time of the year. Good value but could get even better with the rise in the dollar.Tasted: 11 December 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
