I continue to be encouraged by what I am tasting out of Arizona of late. Deep Sky Vineyard’s Aurora Viognier hits all the varietal aromatic markers of honeysuckle, stone fruit and spice, and the palate delivers on the promise of the nose with good viscosity and bright acidity. Citrus zest and a dash of green herb make for a clean finish and add complexity. Don’t serve this too cold – you will miss some of its nuances. Nicely done!
