2017 Stag's Leap Winery Napa Vioginer
#nb-41-18
The Stag's Leap Winery has had an excellent reputation for producing exquisite wines for many years, so when we dined at Emeril's Coastal Italian at Miramar Beach recently, we knew that this Viognier would make an excellent companion for the exquisite cuisine found at Emeril's. We had a variety of fish and shellfish, and the wine was a perfect match.
Viognier is aromatic and somewhat spicy, and this one was typical of the grape. The bouquet is fragrant with the aroma of citrus floating across a basket of ripe stonefruit. The flavors swirl through the glass with a strong presence of peach over shadowed by spice and citrus. There is also a mineral background which leads to a very crisp finish, which sails off into the night, begging for another sip. Norm's score is 90.
The Stag's Leap Viognier was worthy of a seafood feast at a top quality restaurant such as Emeril's Coastal Italian.
price : $24 - $30
score: 90
