Tasting- Oxford Landing Viognier




Name: Oxford Landing
Variety: Viognier
Region: South Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2009
Price: $7.95

Wine Critic Review: "88 Points, Wine Spectator.Bright and lively,this white is appealing for its pear, lychee and sweet spice character, which comes together smoothly against a silky texture."

My Review: The smell of this wine was EXTREMELY citrusy. Also, I thought it was very herbal, but I could not put my finger on which one or ones. The taste of this wine was not good and very reminiscent of the smell. The hints of various herbs as well as tobacco were present but no citrus fruits. A light-medium bodied wine which I would not try again.

This wine was not tried with food.
