Freemark Abbey 2012 Viognier

Price: $32 Rating: 14/20 Region: Napa Valley, California Varietal: 100 percent Viognier Production: 1,503 cases Alcohol: 15.1 percent Tasting Notes: At the Judgment of Paris in 1976, California wines triumphed over French wines in a blind tasting. Freemark Abbey was the only California winery to have both a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Chardonnay selected to compete. The winery’s 2012 Viognier is a crisp, full-bodied wine. Its heady tropical fruit and floral aromas entice upon entry. Citrus and stone fruit flavors in the mouth culminate in a clean, dry finish. Food Pairings: Spicy Asian noodle dishes and salads For more information, visit www.freemarkabbey.com Other Viogniers we have tasted Check out GAYOT’s Napa Valley Travel Guide wine.com Related Content: Top 10 Summer Wines Wine and Food Pairing Wine of the Week Reviews New Releases
