Riebeek Cellars Viognier

Name: Riebeek
Variety: Viognier
Region: Swartland
Country: South Africa
Year: 2015
Price: $12, on sale for $7.95
Shop/Critic/Winery Review: Washington Post "This is a luscious Viognier, featuring a deep yellow color, that explodes with juicy peach and honeysuckle flavors. Viognier can easily become flabby, but this one manages to keep its figure within bounds. I recommend this for immediate, lip-smacking enjoyment.

My impressions: "Sugary, grapey, honeyed nose.  Much drier body!  Based on the nose, I expected sweeter.  Very nice!  Good bits of fruit, but not too sweet.
