#42-19


We grilled salmon the other night, and paired it with a bottle of 2018 Cline North Coast Viognier.  It was a good choice, and an excellent dinner!

The Cline has a good nose, with fragrant aromas of fresh stone fruit, and a hint of orange citrus in the breeze.  The flavor is peach, and a little pineapple, with a touch of spice to round it out.  The balance between fruit and acidity is good, although it may lean just a little to the sweet side. The finish is clean and refreshing.  The alcohol content is 14.5%, and Norm's score is 88.

We enjoyed this Viognier with our grilled salmon, but I also thought of it as a good companion for grilled shrimp or chicken on a bed of fresh greens.


score: 88
price: $11 - $15
