A Bit Different - McManis Viognier 2007

While I was at Bevmo a while ago, I grabbed this on a whim because it looked pretty interesting. Let's have a taste, shall we?

Viognier, 2007
McManis Family Vineyards, California. $9
Consumed: July 27, 2009
Nose: Very fruity and sweet, with a hint of anise (aka black licorice). Palette: Very thick honey-like sweetness. Kind of a light citrusy tang too. Hints of oak and smoke on the midpalette. Light aftertaste. Smooth to drink.

Viognier isn't for everyone, but it's smooth to drink. It's pretty heavy, so you can't drink it too quickly. Not very "crisp". Chris says that it's syrupy. I really liked the awesome aroma of this wine!

Final Verdict: Try this for something more "satisfying" than most other wine. In other words, a single glass of this wine can possibly quench your wine thirst for the night. Odd, I know.
