Sunset Hills Viognier displays a beautiful nose of tropical fruits and slight floral notes. On the palate, it expresses strong flavors of ripe apricot accompanied by lemon curd, toasted walnuts, and honey. This is lighter bodied, versatile white wine with a crisp finish.
It’s very food friendly and pairs well with mild cheeses, seasonal fruits, shellfish, and cream-based dishes.
"I love the generous peach and apricot character of this viognier, but it also has lovely freshness and a long, clean finish with some white-pepper complexity. Drink or hold."
