McKinney 2014 Viognier (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Viognier California
Winery: McKinney / Santa Ynez Valley

Hints of lime skin, squeezed pink grapefruit and touches of petrol and quinine hit on the nose of this wine from a newish regional producer. There’s a strong pithy character to the palate, where apple skins and a nearly white pepper sensation trend toward a botanical profile. It’s intriguingly racy.
