d'Arenberg The Hermit Crab Viognier/Marsanne 2012

Winemaker Chester Osborn has a terrific reputation for his shiraz and cabernet wines, but this white blend of Viognier with 32% Marsanne is fantastic! Not a lot of oak, but it combines with the fruit vibrancy to create an intriguingly rich and delicious wine. Aromas of apricot and white flowers with a dash of spice on the finish. Perfect for light to medium spice dishes. Viognier Marsanne food pairings: lemongrass chicken. Score - 92. (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, December 9, 2013 )
