Ducard Vineyards

Signature Viognier 2013

The very pale color is not too inviting - but don't stop after a glance. The nose send showers of vanilla peaches out in a cloud of soft oak scents. On the palate, rich peach and pear mix with a slight taste of orange peel. The acidity is striking, and a citrus note clings to the lengthy, delicious finish. — 11 years ago
