2009 Henry Lagarde Viognier - Mendoza, Argentina

This Henry Lagarde Viognier comes from one of the most well respected and traditionally run wineries in Argentina.

Golden in color - and boasting a fruit forward style and wonderful floral aromas - this wine exhibits refreshing clean citrus flavors of white peach, nectarine and pear, with some acidity that hints of pink grapefruit. There is a certain quality of straw and perhaps a hidden minerality that adds balance. The flavors are fresh and very bright, perfect to awaken the palate as well as the imagination.

At the risk of sounding prosaic, I must say that this wine really is delicious and highly drinkable, well-suited for any light-hearted occassion - indoors or out.



This bright, crisp wine is the perfect choice for summer entertaining.  Serve well chilled.
