Wine Review: This clear and medium gold colored Viognier from Cantadora opens with a shy apricot and grilled pineapple bouquet with hints of orange peel and bee’s wax. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, slightly viscous, and rich. The flavor profile is a honey and poached Bosc pear blend with notes of butterscotch and apricot. We also detected hints of tangerine, shortbread cookie, and stony minerality. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity linger and last for quite some time. We would pair this Viognier with a New England lobster roll. Enjoy - KWGTP
