2019 Decibel Viognier, Hawkes Bay

On the nose: Bright floral notes and orange blossom dominate on first breath. Hints of cinnamon toast, brioche and lemon meringue pie develop on the nose as the wine opens up with some air.
On the palate: The front palate is fresh with a soft, supple attack on the cheeks and a racing, spicy mid-palate melting into a chalky, tangy finish screaming for bold food pairings.
