The more I drink Viognier out of Washington the more I am always impressed. This had an expressive nose, but was not over the top like many new world expressions of the grape. Honeysuckle, peach, apricot and just a small hint of almost an oregano aroma. Acid was medium, but was enough to balance it out. Medium plus body and good length.
I often find Viognier to be too floral for my liking and can take on a canned peach aroma with just too much sweet smelling fruit. This wine was balanced and delicious, sad I don't have more.

I'm a fan of Charles Smith wines so I was excited to find this. I don't recall ever having a Viognier before, reminded me a bit of a Chard on first sip. Heavy apple, some wood. Some tropical fruit flavors, light pineapple, with a light tart after bite. Settled in nicely, getting better as it went along. Interested to try this & other Viogniers again.

Straw yellow and lite in the glass. Brett, walnuts and tropical fruit on the nose. Lite body with diluted citrus, wet stone, flowers and silky tartness. Short finish. Interesting up front, but fades quickly.

A lovely nose with peach and apple aromas and hint of straw and honey. The palate follows the nose with fresh acidity. Not overripe like many viogniers. Truly delightful stuff.

The 2011 K Vintners Viognier offers aromas of tropical fruits, fresh peaches, toasted almond and wet stones. This is fresh and lively on the palate and finishes up clean and crisp. Very pretty. 100% Viognier. (Best 2012-2015)

Light yellow in color. Apple, honey, and melon flavors. Strong acidity, and a little heavy.

Not an expert on straight viognier, but I really enjoyed this. Like a citrusy SB with more heft.
