The 2009 Shelley’s Block Marsanne Viognier has intense stone fruit and floral aromas: warm peaches, apricots, honeysuckle and pear juice. The crisp acidity on this medium-bodied wine is just a tad heavy handed though the concentration of peachy flavor, viscous texture and a long finish all make this a very pleasant glass to enjoy now until 2012. It’s very well priced at under $20! Importer: John Larchet, The Australian Premium Wine Collection; www.tapwc.com.au

Rich in texture, with floral, almond-scented pear and grapefruit flavors on a satiny texture, lingers well. Drink now through 2013. 800 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Victoria / Rutherglen Select to Add
