A beautifully honeyed nose is the calling card here, likely enhanced by a healthy dose of Viognier in the mix. Minimal barrel influence keeps things fresh, and my crisp and creamy indicator bells are ringing. It’s a budget friendly sipper that will suit simple salads sublimely. Contains 15% Viognier.
