Viognier

[summa]

Well, actually Viognier was a very popular white grape to develop in CA a bit ago, (read a decade or more). It can produce a quite wonderfully complex perfumed wine, but I find it almost impossible to find a good one. I always open up a bottle and it smells so incredibly profound, then I taste it and am completely disappointed, little in the way of flavour, body or finish. Except in Very rare instances, I think it is a wonderful juice to blend with other varietals. (Viognier is originally a Rhone varietal from France)
