Winery (Casanel Vineyards) Review: Won best varietal in VWL's 2013 Best of Reader's Choice Awards! Our 2009 Viognier exudes a delicate floral nose, bursting with flavors of white peach and nectarine mid- palate. The finish lingers with a tart crispness of limes, reminiscent of key lime pie which complements the smooth, silky finish. Barrel-aged for 8 months, our Viognier is the perfect porch sipper or lighter style of wine to pair with sweet and savory dishes.
My Review: Absolutely loved this wine. I actually bought a glass to enjoy outside after the tasting and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although the description says that it has white peach and nectarine flavors, I felt that it had an apple aroma. When I smelled it I immediately thought of biting into a fresh, crisp, green apple. It was smooth on the palate and left a semi-sweetness behind. I would definitely drink this wine on a warm spring day with a basket of crackers and bread.
