Wine Review:
2007 Peay Vineyards Estate Viognier, Sonoma Coast
Light yellow. A complex bouquet displays peach pit, pear, honeysuckle and lemongrass. Avoids the candied, overtly exotic qualities of many New World viogniers, offering spicy citrus and orchard fruit flavors and a delicate honeyed quality. The tangy citrus element comes on strong on the long, impressively pure and spicy finish. This offers the clarity of a top Condrieu.
