Wine Review Archive - Australia, Viognier
($16). Fresh and floral,
with bone dry, delicate flavors that include
apricot and lime zest. Not an opulent
style, like some Viognier, but intriguing
for its nuanced, musk/floral character.
Not sure about the "Loose Cannon"
part -- it seemed very "birds and
bees" (and all that suggests) to
me! Ready to drink now and over the next
couple of years. (Weekend Wine 04/06)
($9).
A pretty mix of tropical melon and peach
flavors, with dashes of ginger and cinnamon,
finishing with delicate vanilla. Ready
to drink now. (Weekend Wine 11/05)
($8). What a nice surprise
-- especially for this price! Unexpectedly
ripe and full-bodied with loads of varietal
orchard fruit and florals, along with
a nice bit of honeydew. (02/00)
($18) was one of our July 4th day wines.
The pretty melon and peach fruit is vibrant
but not overripe, with a nice throughline
of citrus that lingers on the finish.
Ready to drink now. It was a fun match
for grilled turkey burgers and spicy baked
beans. (Picks & Nibbles 07/07)
($18).
A nice contrast between juicy apricot
and ripe peach fruit against rich creamy,
spicy oak-laced full-bodied character.
Lovely bouquet. Elegant, lingering finish.
Very good. Ready to drink now. (Weekend
Wine, 06/04)
