spangler vineyards viognier (southern oregon)

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：1470

Though similar in style to the winery’s 2005 Viognier, this edition lacks the complexity and aromatic detail. There’s plenty of acid to cut through the 1.1% residual sugar, but something is lost in that equation. Rather than cutting through with Viognier’s characteristic mix of floral, citrus and stone fruits, this just tastes like a basic white, peachy and slightly sweet.——P.G.(7/1/2007)—— 84

Spangler (formerly La Garza) is in the central Oregon region that is beginning to show real potential for unusual grapes not generally associated with the state. This is a fine Viognier, cutting and clear, and fragrant with a mix of peach, grapefruit and papaya. Flavorful and restrained, with just a hint of residual sugar. ——P.G.(12/1/2006)—— 88
