This wine actually reminds me of a lot of a white Rhone even though the only shared varietal in this blend is Viognier. It definitely has body that's for sure. I get a little orange rind on the nose, a little heat as well. On the palette is where it reminds me of white Rhone. It has this apricot that I always get out of the whites from that region. There are other fruit desciptors but nothing else is jumping out at me right now. On the finish there is like an almond nuttiness to it. Overall, it's a pretty interesting wine. Definitely worth the venture.

This wine really needed to be served cool, not cold, and seemed to benefit from being opened half an hour before drinking. Very nice wine.

Brown Jug Italian Tasting: Beautiful nose. Honetsuckle and other rich fruit flavors. This richness continues on the palate. Very nice wine. 88-89

Fairly simple, easy to drink white. Nicely balanced acidity, crisp and clean fruit.
