Wine Review: This white gold colored Viognier opens with a pleasant mild peach and white flower bouquet with hints of honeysuckle and jasmine. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and slightly creamy. The flavor profile is a lemon and mango blend with notes of slate minerality, tangerine and white grapefruit pith. The finish is dry and it flavors and acidity are drift away nicely. We would pair this Viognier with Stuart's seared scallops with Brussel sprouts or trout almondine. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: 2018 Flanagan Viognier Bennett Valley is our fifth vintage of Viognier. Our Viognier is made in a fresher style with very little new oak. The nose displays white peach and citrus blossoms. On the palate, there are notes of ripe lemon, fresh pear, and almost ripe peach. This is a clean, bright style of Viognier and a perfect first course wine. The acidity in 2018 is brilliant!
