Aromas of butterscotch, pineapples, bananas and coconut. Hints of lemon rind, vanilla and a bit of spice. On the palate, the toasty oak is well balanced with the bright acidity.

2010 Reserve Viognier

Blend: 100% Viognier Tasting Notes: Every year that we make wine, the more I am convinced that Viognier would be the most popular white wine if it were not so hard to pronounce.
