Clif Family Winery Viognier 2016 Review
While opulent with fragrance on the nose, notes of apricot, peach yogurt, sweet blossoms, and sugar-coated cereal wafting from the glass, this Napa Valley Viognier has great balance on the palate. The aromas carry through to the round palate where they become much drier, with green spice and a long, tingly, ginger finish.
