Tormenta Viognier 2006

First U.S entry. This caught my eye at Sam’s Club www.samsclub.com (part of the Wal-Mart empire, Sam’s are a wholesale warehouse who have some surprising products in addition to the usual pile it high sell it cheap items).

This is a label specific to Sam’s and what interested me was the “Organic” qualification (are we better off consuming the pests or the pesticides?). Very pale and initially quite acidic, however after a while the acidity disipated and we are left with a dry wine, slightly fruity, slightly steely, quite refreshing. Drink cool not cold for best flavour. Price $10.20 including tax.
