The 2016 Derby Viognier from Derby Vineyard in Paso Robles is a delightful expression of this aromatic varietal, scoring an impressive 95 points. This wine captivates with its vibrant notes of ripe peach, honeysuckle, and a hint of jasmine, all underscored by a refreshing acidity that keeps it lively on the palate. The warm Paso Robles sun imparts a luscious, ripe fruit character while the cool nights preserve its bright minerality, making it a beautifully balanced choice. Ideal for a summer picnic or paired with grilled seafood, this Viognier is a smart buy for the quality, delivering an exceptional experience that rivals much higher-priced wines.
