Elaine and I shared a bottle of wine this evening, Honey Moon 2005 Viognier, California, 13.5%, vinted and bottled by Trader MoonWine Co., Manteca, CA. Synthetic cork, foam center wrapped with some kind of plastic, Nomacork maybe? Received as a gift. Not mentioned on the bottle but finished semi-dry, probably about 2% RS, judging entirely by taste.
I don't buy Viognier as a rule, having been underwhelmed by the real thing a few years ago in Condrieu. This one tasted more like Muscat to me than any Viognier I've ever tasted, right down to the slightly bitter finish.
Anyone tried this one yet? Comment?
