One of our go-to Viognier's in WA State, opened this up to use in our Risotto recipe and to drink with dinner. Nice acidity, nose is full of green apple and oil, on the palate it was a mix of green apple, asian pear, minerals. Best to drink first night or two, faded considerably on third night.

nose: very oil nose with nice subtle tones of green apple, hazelnuts, and cummin spices
taste: huge and lush with wonderful tones of green apple all over the palate and great underneath tones of oil, nutmeg, and nutty tones that transition great
overall: really great fat feeling on the palate with big full feeling. Nice weight and more mineral driven style of viognier that explodes on the palate after being reserved on the nose

(Had at a tasting -- no rating.) Very fruity nose -- massively peachy, to me. Not dry, but not quite off-dry -- definitely a touch of sweetness, but not a whole lot. Medium-bodied with lower acidity than I expected. Very good overall.

More mineral-ly than floral but that is not a flaw. I thought the weight and balance were great and the wine very smooth. The wine maker's style really came through and I really liked this wine.

Beautiful, floral nose. Nice fruit; would like to see a little more depth (or maybe freshness) in the fruit. A little heavy in alcohol on the end. But overall, a very enjoyable wine.

Seemed a bit past prime, used for cooking Risotto and it worked fine.

zingy refreshing wine, not really sure what a washington viognier is supposed to taste like but this is nice.

A good expression of the varietal though a bit reserved compared to more florally viognier.

Pleasant viognier, not too complex, but the profile of the varietal comes through. Good value, and a pleasant companion to our fish and chicken.
