Bright golden yellow without any age tones. Beautiful aromas of medium-ripe fruit: Quinces, pineapples and some bananas. In addition a touch of honey and some flower notes. On the palate creamy fruity notes. Velvety with a very long and smooth finish. Outstanding. A glorious viognier on the top.
It is not often the case that you get a chance to drink a wine at the perfect point. For this Christopher Creek Viognier this was the case. And as usual: It was coincidence. I forgot this bottle in my cellar! Shame on my database:-) - and thanks for this. Don't wait any longer. The wine will still be wonderful to drink for the next three or four years. But for now it is a masterpiece.
Pair this beauty with a not too spicy crab cake and the perfect moment will be given.
