  This wine reminds me very much of a Riesling on the nose . . . strong minerality with notes of green apple and pear. There's a bracing acidity to this wine, rather un-Viognier like, but the raciness is appealing. Flavors of green pineapple, green apple and lemon. Salud!

  Nose of pear and lychee with subtle stone. Light on the palate with pear and pineapple and good minerality. Medium finish.

  Autre vin du producteur Cougar Crest de l'état de Washington, ce viognier a la robe jaune pâle, avec un résidu de gaz carbonique, de petites bulles volent au fond de la coupe. Le nez est frais, des effluvent de citron, de fruits à chair blanche sont perceptible. La bouche est ronde, puissante, avec de forte sensation. La finale est chaude, longue et alcooleuse. Ce vin est vinifié en cuves d'acier inoxydable sans fermentation malolactique. Il est recommandé de le boire assez froid car plus le vin se réchauffe plus l'alcool se fait sentir ce qui peut être passablement désagréable.

  VERY pale straw color, with strong aromas of honey, brioche, lemon and even a little bit of cucumber. Very smooth, silky mouthfeel. Very nice acidity throughout the wine with overwhelming pineapple, and honey suckle. Finish is smooth and firm. This is a very well structured viognier - reminiscent of $40-$60 condrieu's from the Rhone.
