True Heritage Castalia Farm Viognier 2018 Review
Virginia has some great wine, but most of it is only available via the wineries websites, and for now that’s cool, but hopefully one day we’ll see more wine like this on the larger market. This is a wonderful, aromatic wine with opening notes of pear, orange blossom and ginger. There is also some vanilla extract folded into coconut. The palate is seamless, with racy acidity balanced by a viscous, chewy mouthfeel. It has excellent structure and is definitely worth the rigamarole of e-commerce.
