Still, the floral notes are there, along with that tell-tale Viognier give-away, hints of white peach and apricots. It is fresh, medium-bodied, slightly lighter than the 2010 or 2009, as well as less exotic, but very, very good. Drink it over the next year.\" \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t-\u003cu\u003eWine Advocate (Issue 201, June 2012)\u003c\/u\u003e, \u003cb\u003e88 pts BEST BUY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Veneur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948750041135,"sku":"F1EE137154VGS","price":10.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/grand-veneur-cote-du-rhone-blanc-de-viognier-2011","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
