D'Arenberg's 2016 The Laughing Magpie Shiraz Viognier includes 4% Viognier, historically on the low side for this bottling. It's imperceptible on the nose, which shows plenty of dark, plummy fruit, hints of barrel char and a wisp of menthol. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fairly round and generous for a d'Arenberg wine—that's likely where the Viognier influence is felt the most—then firmer and more tannic on the finish.
