2007 Bonterra Viognier:
If the sensual texture isn’t enough to make you smile, the beautiful perfumed nose of orange blossom, apricot, and beeswax certainly will. A strong impression of stone minerality comes forward on the palate, making this wine act like a squeaky clean “old world” viognier.
Die-hard chardonnay fans typically find a bottle of viognier in front of them at some point and are amazed at how delicious they are. Bonterra consistently produces a superb quality example, and an organic one to boot.
Just over medium in body backed by subtle acidity, try with Mandarin Chinese food.
Decant prior to serving to get the full affect of the wine’s aromatics.
