McPrice Myers - 2005 Viognier
I grilled some swordfish last night topped with a tomato based puree and decided it was time to open one of my bottles of MAC’s Viognier - It was perfect. It was crisp, the acidity was nice and it the aeromatics were just right on. Nicely done!Â

 Frankly, this is a huge Cab with great structure and intense color.
