Chateau Morrisette- 2011 Viognier

Name- Chateau Morrissette- 2011 Viognier

Variety- Viognier Varietal

Country- United States

Region- Virginia

Year- 2011

Price-  $29.99

Winemaker notes-  This wine evokes aromas of honeysuckle and delicate white flowers.  On the palate, it features nuances of peach and nectarine, enhanced by a gentle yet crisp acidity.  Rich grapefruit and melon flavors round out the clean finish.

My review- Probably one of the best wines I had during my tasting at Chateau Morrisette. I'm not much on whites, but this wine really struck a pose with me. Floral notes and even a kind of citrus hint encompassed the nose. After giving it a whirl I could definitely taste grapefruit and even smooth tangerine. But does all this justify the almost $30 price tag? I personally do not think so. You can find better wines for the price.
