We’re number fifty-six! We’re number fifty-six!

2006 Albemarle Viognier

Purchased for $20 at The Wine Market. Golden yellow color, looking think and viscous in the glass. Smelled almost like an Alsatian Pinot Gris at first, but that gave away to lots of oak after a few minutes. Sharp, biting acidic taste which is out of character for a Viognier (vee-ohn-yay) so maybe it was [...]
