Ending the weekend on a high note: Flagstone Word of mouth Viognier

Looking for the perfect end to a weekend, or start, or middle? You know what, this is the perfect white wine for any occasion.
Brilliantly clear and bright, translucent and pale straw in colour, this might seem like just any other white wine, until sampled that is!
The aroma of freshly whipped vanilla cream is so forthcoming that I could easily imagine a bucketful of cream waiting on the dessert table along with some fresh berries.On the nose, Word of mouth is presents aromas of stone fruit, vanilla and the smell of freshly baked buttery biscuits. From the nose, wood has already made its presence known.
The entry of this wine is dry and refreshing, without being too crisp. The stone fruit, vanilla and biscuit flavours follow through from the nose to the palate. Word of mouth is a delightfully complex wine presenting a variety of flavours on each tasting.such as peaches and cream, apricots and jasmine blossoms.  The acidity is in balance with the fruitiness. Word of mouth is a medium to light bodied wine with just enough wood. The finish of Word of mouth is lingering and slightly buttery or creamy.
I would rate this wine 17.5 out of 20.
This wine could easily paired with a creamy alfredo pasta with chicken and mushroom, or simply enjoyed on its own...
