2002 Eagle Castle Late Harvest Viognier Paso Robles[Paso Robles]
[Fortified/Dessert]

Chateau/Producer:Eagle Castle
Wine Name:Late Harvest Viognier Paso Robles
Country:USA
State:California
AOC:Paso Robles
Region:Paso Robles
Wine Score:87
Notes:This is the wine I drank while waiting for Hurricane Katrina to finish pounding Baton Rouge. The color (as best I could tell by electric lantern) is a pretty pale yellow-gold. It has a nice medium-strength nose of dried pineapple, with a hint of banana. The flavor is good, sweet but not too sweet, with a nice level of citrusy acidity. It has medium body, and is a bit hot with alcohol. There are flavors of pineapple, lemon, orange, a hint of banana, and a dash of bitterness. Generally, this was a pretty good little dessert wine to sip on while waiting for the power to come back on. (It would be rather a long wait, as it turns out.)
