Tasting: "Chateau Morrisette Viognier"


Name: Viognier
Variety: Viognier
Region: Virginia
Country: United States
Year: 2010
Price: $18.99
Critic Review:  "This delightful wine entices with classic varietal aromas of fresh peaches and honeysuckle.  Tasting reveals nuances of pear, melon and honey.  The well-balanced, silky texture eases into a smooth, clean finish glimmering with the suggestion of apricots and limes.  This wine pairs well with shellfish, broiled seafood, and grilled or roasted chicken and pork."
Personal Review: This wine was finished in a stainless steel barrel so there were no tastes of oak or wood.  This was made out of a Virginia grape and it was very fresh and crisp.  The taste of the wine made my mouthwater and there was a key-lime finish.
With/Without Food: I tried this wine without food.
