點擊次數(shù)：6022

It appears that Heggies’ whites are Burgundy-inspired given their interesting textures and complex aromatics. For example, the 2004 Viognier was fermented in barrel with indigenous yeasts, and enjoyed the stirring of the lees procedure that the French call batonage. It is a complex, smoky, exotic Viognier from cool sites, hence the stunning bouquet of apricot jam, white currants, litchi nuts, and minerals. Stylish, medium to full-bodied, and exceptionally well-delineated, with power as well as elegance, it should drink well for 12-18 months. Importer: Negociants, USA, Napa CA; tel. (707) 259-0993

A Viognier with some restraint, focusing its flavors on juicy pineapple and lime, moving the spice and floral components to accents instead of primary flavors. Beautifully balanced, it has length and style. Drink now through 2010. 120 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Barossa / Eden Valley Select to Add

Smells like honey and talc powder, and shows Viognier’s typical floral quality most in the mouth. It has the straw/hay quality that I associate more with Semillon, and a flourlike feel. Less weighty than you expect a Viognier to be, too, but shows how nice the variety can be when made with a lighter hand. Imported by Negociants USA, Inc. ——D.T.(12/1/2005)—— 87
