2007 – Viognier – Black Ankle Vineyard – Mt. Airy, MD

This is an old review I wrote for another site

This was a very pleasant first for me as I have never had Maryland Viognier before, and I must say I loved it. You get an absolutely wonderful aroma from this bottle of wine with hints of fruit and honey. These great smells carry over quite nicely into the taste of the wine as you definitely get a subtle hint of honey and the fruit flavours comes through as apple and apricot (though I'll be honest I may be wrong on this as I always have trouble pinning fruit tastes). The whole thing comes together quite well as a very well balanced wine. This wine goes well with everything from a good cheese to spicy Asian foods, I personally love it with a nice spicy Thai chicken dish. This is a great wine that any white wine fan should enjoy, especially for those of you who are fans of Muscat or Rieslings.
