August 27, 2013 - Consumed over 2 days, note from day 2 - left open on the counter for 24 hours - chilled before serving 2nd evening. Nose: Medium expressiveness, pear, white flowers, and a hint of butter. Palate: Medium bodied, slightly creamy mouth-feel, sweet citrus fruit attack - canned pears, decent acidic backbone, a little hollow thru the mid-palate, mineral component appears towards the back-end. Finish: Medium length dominated by canned pear flavor. Performed quite well for $12 and being exposed to 24 hours of air at room temperature.

December 10, 2011 - This wine is great QPR. The nose is elder flower, honey and gun flint. On the palate the wine remains varietally typical with great viogniercharacteristics: apricot, honey, mouth filling fleshiness. Really enjoyed this. A little short perhaps- but a solid wine. Drink now- don't wait.

September 15, 2011 - I really like the white wines made from Viognier and this wine was recommended from my local wine retailer. My hopes were high, but must admit, I am a little disapointed... Even though the alcohol is only 13,5% I actually feel some heat.... The nose is great and typical Viognier: Apple, smoked banana, pear and peach. But I miss some of the sweetness that is typical for the Viognier... The wine is not bad, but still....
