McManis Family Vineyards Viognier 2005
California $19.70
This is a richly-textured and flavourful Viognier fashioned by Ron and Jamie McManis, a husband and wife team that come from a long tradition of growing premium grapes. This is a gorgeous offering. Look for dazzling aromas of honey and floral notes then a flavour-packed mouthful of ripe nectarine and peach. The finish is extremely well balanced, finishing crisp and clean. I had mine at the popular Wellington Gastropub in Ottawa with seared scallops and it matched perfectly. Order by the case of 12 from The Robert Groh Agency at www.robgroh.com. (VH)
