Ridgeback Viognier 2007

Apparently I haven't yet written about the superb Ridgeback Viognier 2007 that we bought last year at Artevino.

It is a mono-cepage viognier wine which is not that common outside the northern Cote de Rhone (although getting more and more well known around the world).

This wine is a heavy wine (14% alcohol is a lot for white wine), with a very roasty taste, but also the typical apricot-aroma that goes with the grape. It is somewhat dark yellow in color, but very intense. Yesterday we opened another bottle to try it with a Indian Curry dish, but that was not a very big success. This evening when we emptied the bottle while watching TV it tasted a lot better (not that it was bad yesterday :-))
