A tale of two Viogniers


Bonterra Vineyards Viognier 2002
Yalumba South Australia Viognier 2004

Two Viogniers (Bonterra Vineyards Viognier 2002 and Yalumba South Australia Viognier 2004) separated by half a world and two years, and...we couldn't tell them apart. Both fine, fruity, flavorful, typical Viogniers.

Of course, we were having them with a meal (goose cooked with pears and apples) at the home of some friends, and so our focus was more on enjoying the evening than taste-testing the wines, but still--pretty much indistinguishable. In a good way.
