Enjoy Chardonnay? You'll love this
Cline Viognier North Coast
California

PLCB Item No. 3006
If you like Chardonnay, chances are you’ll LOVE viognier.
It shares Chardonnay’s framing qualities, in that it is usually dry and voluptuously full-bodied, full of juicy fruit flavor and not sharply acidic. Where it differs is in its aromatic profile. Chardonnay is relatively sedate in its buttered popcorn and apple pie flavors; viognier features an exuberant riot of tastes and smells — lychees and peaches, violets and muskmelons. This obscure grape hails from the Rhône region of France but is more often encountered on California labels. Try it with vibrantly seasoned cuisine such as Thai coconut curries and Jamaican jerked chicken.
