Tasting: Zaca Mesa Viognier


Name: Zaca Mesa Viognier
Variety: 100% Viognier
Region: Santa Ynez Valley, California
Country: United States
Year: 2011
Price: $16.95
Shop review: "Bright yellow-gold.  Ripe pear and peach aromas are enlivened by lemon pith and jasine.  Fleshy, broad, and a touch warm, offering plush pit fruit and honey flavors and a hint of bitter lemon.  Closes smooth and long, with lingering peach pit and honey nuances." -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Zaca Mesa Viognier, a white wine, poured a golden color with scents of flowers, peaches, and honey.  The viognier was semi-sweet/semi-dry on the tongue with flavors of peaches, honey, flowers, and lemon.  It finished smooth with honey and peach still lingering on the palate.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
