Pride Mountain 2006 Viognier (Sonoma County)

Country: US /
Variety: Viognier California
Winery: Pride Mountain / Sonoma County

The gigantic flavors are there, showing the exotic, flamboyant side of Viognier. Peach, pineapple, kiwi, Key lime pie, honeysuckle blossom, roasted almond, smoky new oak and Asian spices lead to a dry, honeyed finish. There’s an edgy awkwardness, though, that limits elegance. Might simply be too young. Best after mid-2008.
