I didn't know that Viognier could be anything but white. This hails from South Australia via the Grocery Outlet and was a steal at $4.
There were nice stone fruit notes and it was perfect for the long hot weekend.
From Trader Joe's, this was in their red blends section for about $6.
I'm satisfied. 34% Syrah, but whats the rest? Bordeaux varietals? Zin?
Gamay? Concord?
Who knows? Who cares?
For $6, this could be my house red if it plays it's cards right. It is
light and fun and has a good balance of fruit and spice.
Throw your expectations in the gutter and be pleasantly surprised.
Cool wine. This viognier has an elegant taste and powerful aroma.
