2007 Bonterra Vineyards Viognier

2007 Bonterra Vineyards Viognier

Enjoyed this wine at a steakhouse, yes, a steakhouse, but paired with seared diver scallops over creamed corn.  It’s a lovely, affordable Viognier that would complement spicy foods, rich white/cheesy sauces and grilled fish very well.

For those not familiar with Viognier, it’s rich and bold with tropical fruit flavors and floral aromas.  In the case of the 2007 Bonterra Vineyards Viognier, it’s fruit forward with a long, dry and almost spicy finish with vanilla notes.  Fans of Rieslings or Gewurztraminers would enjoy this varietal.

Varietal blend: 81% Viognier, 10% Marsanne, 5% Muscat, 4% Rousanne.

Around $16.
