Barboursville Vineyards Viognier Reserve 2016

Absence of oak aging combines with extravagant lees contact and exclusion of oxygen in stainless steel to protect and concentrate welcoming aromatics and luscious flavors, fine for cellaring. Juicy and bright pear, passion fruit, and hints of citrus on a gently herbal frame.

Pairs well with venison scaloppine, pan-fried blue crab cakes and sea scallops.
