Pretty one dimensional with melons/tropical fruit. Not bad but not interesting either. My quest to find a decent viognier outside of Condrieu will have to continue.

Tropical fruit (banana), orange blossom, honey, and chalk on the nose. Add'l tropical fruit and honey on the palate. Full bodied. A little low on acidity...so a bit of structure deficiency.

For a Viognier, this wine lacked the quintessential nose of an aromatic varietal. Not overly complex and fruit came across as slightly too ripe. Stark makes good wine, but either this was a bad vintage or Viognier isn't their forte. Drinkable but not great.
