TASTING NOTES
With intensely tropical aromatics and an ultra-luxurious body, this is a truly exceptional expression of Viognier. Loads of fresh picked stone fruit, plumeria, gardenia, and fresh ground coriander seed greet your nose, with tropical notes of mango, lychee, and melon candy following suit. The body opens with uber creamy and rich coconut cream, orange creamsicle, Tahitian vanilla, and lemon curd, with hints of fresh pineapple and nectarine. Deliciously tropical and refreshing, this is the perfect wine for a warm day! Drink now through 2027.
