Wine of the Week for August 28, 2006

Kressman "Solo" Viognier 2005 - $11.15
Style: W3
France

Although the label says Viognier, this comes across more like a good gewurztraminer. The nose is rich with dried mango, sweet grass, mandarin orange and a touch of floral. Quite rich and smooth on the palate, with a crisp acidity, orange zest flavour and a whiff of musk on the back palate. Good body and length. A delightful wine that would go well with BBQ chicken, risotto or Sichuan. (LCBO 619304)
