Darioush Signature Viognier 2004

Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe Darioush viognier comes of the Ashley Vineyard in the Oak Knoll AVA of Napa Valley. Just released the nose is opulent offering persist floral/mineral notes with a powerful (14.9 alcohol) ripe apricot undercurrent. The textures are creamy; the flavours a mix of honeysuckle and mineral flecked with orange rind and more apricot. Well-made and leaner than previous editions making it much more food friendly. Think lobster, roast chicken or even spicy Indian dishes.Tasted: 30 June 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
