100% Viognier from Collines Rhodaniennes (Northern Rhône Valley), France.

From the importer (Kermit Lynch):

Take a few moments to become acquainted with this Viognier and you will be well rewarded. A whiff of petrol suggests you’ve opened a Riesling, while the first sip carries notes of fresh-cut grass. But as the wine loses its chill, alchemy happens. Soon you’ll detect aromas of orange blossom, and the next sip will be a succulent mouthful of apricots, ripe peaches, white flowers, and a hint of marzipan. Amid the lush fruit runs a delicate current of minerality that lingers on the tongue, as if the wine cascaded down a granite slope on its way into your glass. In some ways, it has; the stream running alongside Jean-Claude Marsanne’s vineyard transports granite deposits from Saint-Joseph to these Viognier vines and provides the wine its name, “Les Ruisseaux,” the French word for streams.
