E. Guigal 2009 Condrieu, $57.89 Grapes: 100% Viognier,

Review: A highly expressive and perfumed bouquet of nectarine, peach nectar, orange marmalade and white flowers. Broad, palate-staining pit fruit flavors are braced by tangy minerality and become more floral with air. Offers a suave blend of depth and vivacity, with very good finishing clarity and stony persistence.
