Honeysuckle dominates the nose, with stone fruits on the palate. I agree with other reviewers that this is a rich, full-bodied white with an unexpectedly spicy (but not harsh) finish. Not a typical Viognier but very enjoyable if you can get beyond the lack of classic varietal character; paired very well with ham and rich mac & cheese.

Did not resemble a Viognier. Rich fruity nose, with notes of vanilla, honey and a touch of flowers. Palate was not as good as the nose, juicy and fat without structure in the mouth and lacking acidity. Spicy character.

Light golden color. Very expressive aromatically with honey, honeysuckle and white flowers, ripe peach, and honeydew melon. Full body, good length, medium acidity, and very rich on the palate, with flavors of honey, peach, apricot, herbs, and a bit of mineral. This is a pretty bombastic white, and might just be a little over the top for me. I'm kinda torn here—on the one hand, I can certainly appreciate that it's got complexity and is definitely a head-turner, and this did work fairly well with our creamy mac and cheese with broccoli, but post meal this is quickly fatiguing my palate and each sip is like a punch to the mouth. It almost drinks like a dessert wine, but not as sweet.
