$20(no S/H) Viognier's miniscule yields and unreliable ripening made its capricious behavior unprofitable and unwanted by winemakers. But those who were driven, have made this elusive, seductive grape into an impenetrable wine and sought-after selection. The elusive bouquet of spring blossom, apricot and peach is transformed into a creamy hazelnut when it touches oak and gains complexity and structure as Thorngate has. Any top quality cellar must feature a Viognier, whose elegance shows nicely with grilled soft shell crabs, butterflied shrimp or even a spicy gazpacho soup.
