Tim Smith Eden Valley Viognier 2014 (Eden Valley, SA)
13%, Screwcap, $28
Wild ferment. Aged on lees in barrel. Still a Viognier.
Light apricot nose and lightly juicy Riesling-esque palate with just a light oak lick. It’s juicy and varietal but not much oomph or complexity. Pleasant dry white but doesn’t move the earth much beyond that.
