The Adobe Road Racing Series of wines includes Apex, Redline, The 24 and the latest release, SHIFT 2019. Their less "racy" bottlings include the 2019 Adobe Road Viognier from the Famighetti Vineyard of Dry Creek Valley. It carries an alcohol designation of 14.8% abv and a sticker price of $50.
It's a beautiful, golden wine, which smells abundantly of flowers and citrus, with a smattering of apricot thrown into the nose. It's the apricot that comes on strongest on the palate, with a strong helping hand from the lemon, lime and orange notes. The taste is fairly sweet and creamy, although the acidity is lively. This wine will pair well with salads of all sorts - especially savory ones - and light chicken or fish dishes.
