Wine Tasting: Riebeek Cellars Viognier

Name: Riebeek Cellars Viognier
Variety: 100% Viognier 
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Year: 2015
Price: Regular $12, on sale $7.95

Winery Review: This is a luscious viognier, featuring a deep yellow color, that explodes with juicy peach and honeysuckle flavors. Viognier can easily become flabby, but this one manages to keep its figure within bounds. I recommend this for immediate, lip-smacking enjoyment.

My Review: Yellow/gold color with a strong smell of fruits like apples and pears, maybe a hint of pineapple. Mostly dry wine that was relatively smooth but did have a solid finish. Overall a good wine. However, I did not have this wine with food.
