Darioush Signature Napa Valley Viognier 2015

$44.99

One of California's greatest white wines is the Darioush Viognier - try it while this small-production gem is still available! 90 Points Wine Spectator:  "This strikes the right balance between bold and graceful, with ripe apricot and mango flavors providing a fleshy texture, showing details of peach blossom and yellow apple, with refreshing acidity. Drink now." The Darioush estate grown Viognier derives its unique style from a four-acre vineyard site in the Oak Knoll appellation. The cool micro-climate of the vineyard allows this temperamental varietal to slowly develop robust and concentrated floral and fruit characteristics. The fruit, and resulting wine, is minimally handled to express its pure and fragrant nature. Honeysuckle, jasmine and citrus fruit aromas leap from the glass, introducing a vibrant and succulent mouthfeel of juicy peach and cantaloupe balanced by the bright acidity of Fuji apple and lemon zest. The 2014 Viognier finishes with lingering notes of dried apricot, nutmeg and vanilla bean.

Very nice/typical Viognier profile but not flabby. Very focused and lean. Great winery and a new favorite Viognier! Great with mild chicken curry!

Drinking the 2015 in 2019. A delicious summer wine. Rich golden color. Nose full of fruit with peach and a light honey note. Very smooth with a wonderful finish. Flavor is well balanced with peach, honey and lightly sweet fruit with very low tannins. Love it!

Very good New Years Eve wine that had both medium butter and acidity. Some slight citrus on the nose and palate. Overall, a nice sipping wine that should have been allowed open up more (but it was a holiday and anxious to try).
