Wine Review: Kunin makes very impressive Viognier. This is the second vintage in a row that we have recommended it. This light yellow wine opens with a light peach and floral like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, soft, smooth, and quite creamy. The flavor profile is a terrific green apple with some citrus mixed in. The finish is dry and quite refreshing. Drink this impressive Viognier with chicken meals made with a cream sauce. You will be quite pleased with the pairing. Cheers – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Varietal Viognier nose, with stone fruit (apricot, peach) and floral (orange blossom) overtones. Very rich on the palate, with white peach, citrus and mineral flavors and a persistent finish.
