Whetstone "Catie's Corner" Viognier, RRV 2005

Light yellow.

Mango and peach nose shows some new oak influence and a slight sulfide character.

Plush/sweet palate impression will leave some thinking RS (?), but acidity and mineral/sulfide chew in the finish cuts that thought process short. Long finishing flavor of mango/mineral chew. Seems like a hybrid - Viognier fruit meets Burgundian-styled Chardonnay. This seems to get better, and bigger, with air.

14.6% alcohol listed.
