Creekside 2010 Viognier Reserve
92Points

Aromatically intense and varietally spot-on, Creekside's 2012 viognier is loaded with peach and peach blossom, violet and ripe apricot aromas. The palate is rich and full, with an almost off-dry impression thanks to generous alcohol, moderate acidity and plenty of glycerol-extract. It has a long, perfumed finish. A terrific example of Ontario viognier all in all.
