Fairview Goats Do Roam White 2014

Viognier is an impressive grape to be sure. At home in the sunny environs of the Rhone Valley of France, Viognier can easily play for the title of making some of the world's richest and most powerful white wines. There is nothing shy about Viognier, and what this grape sometimes lacks in acid backbone it can more than make up for in heady floral aromas, intense peach and orange citrus fruit tones, an unparalleled viscosity on the palate, and a very friendly relationship with toasty French oak treatment.

Expert Review

87 Points - (a blend of 68% viognier, 17% roussanne and 15% grenache blanc): Light yellow. Fruit-driven aromas of pear, apple, citrus zest and honeysuckle. Surprisingly supple on the palate, with juicy flavors of more tropical fruits and spices. The enticing, moderately persistent finish shows spice and flint notes and good lift. A very successful blend and an excellent value.
