From: Yakima Valley, Washington, USA
Varietal: 67% Viognier, 33% Roussanne
Taste: A beautiful pale gold, this wine jumps out of the glass with aromas of apricot, pineapple, and Meyer lemon that meld into under ripe peach and Key lime in the mouth. The long and scintillating finish leaves you wanting more.
Pairing: A delightful wine to enjoy as an aperitif, or alongside any number of dishes. It’ll effortlessly pair with something like a spinach salad with roasted pears and caramelized walnuts, soups or dishes that feature butternut squash, or next to roasted poultry with potatoes. You can easily enjoy this wine with a number of seafood or take-out options too; our favorites include copious amounts of Honey Walnut Prawns. We’re going to combine some of the previous suggestions in our pairing recipe today: Grouper Fillets with Ginger and Coconut Curry by Patrick Jamon, adapted by John Willoughby.
