Tasting notes
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Descendant Shiraz Viognier seems to show its Viognier component, with notable peach blossom notes over the baked blackberries and stewed plums aromas and touches of dried herbs and chocolate box. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is relatively gripping, with chewy tannins supporting the straightforward flavors, finishing with an herbal lift.
