Carol Shelton 2022 Viognier “Wild Thing” Placer County 92 Points

Wine Enthusiast 92 Points:: “This dry yet superrich and mouth-filling wine overflows with honeysuckle, peach syrup, poached pears, popcorn, and toasted almond flavors on a full body and lush, viscous texture. It’s so ripe and extreme, and so good. “

Winemaker Notes: “Beautiful nose of white flowers (jasmine, gardenia, and honeysuckle) mingled with pretty green tea, grapefruit, and orange zest aromas, only a light kiss of creamy vanilla oak toast. Super crisp acidity without being puckery tart, just pinpoint balanced with a trace of sweetness and creaminess from oak. Juicy, mouth-watering Honey-crisp apple and citrus, green peach fruit. Great structure to pair with lemon-butter shrimp or Thai food or even to drink solo. Blend: 84% Viognier, 11% Roussanne, 5% Marsanne”
