Varietal: Viognier
Wine: Viognier
Label: Cono Sur
Region: Colchagua Valley, Chile
Year: 2009
Date Tasted: Feb. 2010
Notes: This white was a real joy, start to finish. Having moderate body, I picked up hints of tangerine, apricot, and hibiscus. With a bright acidic flavor, and a dry palate that takes on a surprising hint of sweet on finish, this South American wine uses its recent vintage to advantage with sharp, clear tones. Though Viognier is often used in mixture with other varietals, this bottle channels its happiness well and was a perfect match to king crab with garlic butter sauce. Raise a glass!
