Darioush Signature Viognier - Best of the Best

"A Taste for the Unusual" by ROBB REPORT, Brett Anderson
"One of the most unusual and delightful of Darioush winemaker Steve Devitt's wines is the fascinating and ethereal Viognier, which combines concentration with an oddly elusive, otherworldly quality that makes one think of sunlight and moonlight blended. Thick with heady scents of jasmine, orange blossom, and honeysuckle, the Darioush 2004 Signature Viognier produces an intense, lush melon flavor on the palate before evaporating in a finish as delicate as a mirage.”
