Wine Review: This bright yellow colored Viognier opens with a mild oak and ripe pear bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced, juicy and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a ripe Bartlett pear with hints of peach, mild oak and touch of butterscotch. The finish is dry and its elegant flavors linger nicely. This wine would pair well with chicken francese. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Our Alisos Hills Viognier develops a near-perfect balance of fruit and acidity. Appealing flavors of white nectarine and honeysuckle mingle with hints of vanilla and lemon-lime. – Randy Ullom, Winemaster
