I am basically a red wine drinker, and often find whites underwhelming. This was very good, with an excellent balance of a hint of sweet, some flintiness, and a bit of other flavors. I'm not sure I'd want to buy it again, given the reds I could get for $20, but I'm very tempted, which is a strong endorsement from me.

Sweet and on the fatter side, this shows its typicity with heavy layers of apricot, peach schnapps, and floral flavors. Acid here seems a little higher than average for the varietal, which gives this a sense of balance. The finish is long and flavorful ending on a pretty peach pit note.

this was a surprisingly wonderful, balanced, lush viognier. very floral, tropical and perfumed on the nose. nectarine, white peach, melon coat the palate, but this is quite elegant and structured. fruity and intense, but the soft mouthfeel and lingering finish prove this wine packs a lot for the price.

Excellent! Very lush. Enticing nose doesn't give away all of its secrets. Light to medium body, silky apricot with a long though subtle, understated finish. Much more elegant and subtle than the peach slurpee New World viognier (Hermit Crab, anyone?). Crisp.

A solid value. Good up front fruit, solid minerality, long unctuous finish.
