Rosenblum 2005 Kathy's Cuvee Viognier Winemaker's Notes The Viognier grape produces a wine that is both exotic and seductive. The grape originates from the tiny and very steep hillside appellation of Condrieu in the Northern Rhone Valley of France. This Viognier possesses beautiful aromas of apricots and peaches gently touched by vanilla and cinnamon. A palate loaded with honeydew melon, apricots, rich vanillas, subtle hints of tropical fruit and just a touch of toastiness complete this elegant wine.

This wine is perfect as an aperitif, or will accompany grilled poultry, shellfish and cheeses.

One of the world’s great values in Viognier is the 2005 Viognier Kathy’s Cuvee. For $15, this is one heck of a wine, offering smoky, Condrieu-like, notes of litchi nuts, honeysuckle, bees wax, and plenty of apricot and peach fruit. Although it will only last another 12-14 months, it is a stunningly exotic, flamboyant, dry white.

Classic Viognier, with enormously attractive pineapple, mango, peach and honeysuckle flavors and a rich honeyed finish, and the wine is dry and crisp. There’s a voluptuously creamy texture that makes it especially attractive.
