7. Philo Ridge Vineyards Nelson Ranch Mendocino Viognier (2009)

« Prev Next » 7 of 13

Previously available for $19.⁰⁰

A little subdued on the nose with a minty floral edge to the mangosteen, rose hip and violet dominated nose. Round and soft on entry, this shows off nice peachy fruit but seems just a bit lazy on the tongue. It’s smooth and opulent but also fat and a touch bitter, though that bitterness adds to the impression of minerality on the long finish. 86pts
