2006 Roswell Cellars California Viognier

2006 Roswell Cellars California Viognier

From its ripe peach aroma to its refreshing finish, this exotic California wine could easily be mistaken for its French counterpart. The peach impression is joined by notes of pear and apple.

    This wine was an excellent compliment to shrimp. As one who prefers red, this will forever be among my favorites.

    Young, Nice bouquet with fruity flavor, peach is in abundance. This would be a good summer wine. I would rate it as an 80, More after aging another year.

    First experience with this variety of wine. Enjoyed it with a lightly breaded chicken breast with hollandaise and angel hair pasta. Would also be very drinkable on it's own as a dessert or party wine due to the smooth and slightly "fruit salad" like flavor. Definately puts this variety in my top 5 styles.

    First, I didnt know if I should drink it because of the things flying around in it.. but it figured it was that UFO Roswell marketing :).. It was so much better than the last white I had.. I was also awesome.

    Light, fruity, and refreshing; like a perfectly ripened Bosc pear! I thing it goes well with fresh strawberries, and dark chocolate. Definitely a desert wine, in my opinion.

    As someone who has just started trying out wine tasting this was suprisingly good. With my previous experiance with wines being limited to supermarket wines this one sets itself apart from those.
