This is a wonderful wine that would please even people who are not big Viognier fans. We are but this was light and lent itself to an accompaniment to light appetizers/cheese. I wish we had bought more of this! I think we have one bottle left though.

This was a wonderful digestif served after a delightful grilled tuna dinner and served with a house made Crème Brûlée. The wine paired absolutely perfect with just a slight amount of sweetness to complement the dessert. More like a fine wine and not a sugary syrup like many other white dessert wines. Aging is not an issue. Never fear holding this for another 3-4 years. Enjoy!!!!

Drank with another couple with deep wine appreciation. This is a DRY but still fruit forward rosé that is still in its prime almost 4 years later. Had this as an aperitif before dinner and was loved by everyone. I wish I had more of this. It’s everything a Rosé should be.

Since that recommendation (2014!) my palate has shifted more to Pinot and now the Willamette Valley is my go-to place (although Walla Walla is still great). Many great wines coming out of the Pacific NW. Enjoy!

Give WA wines a try, especially reds from the Walla Walla AVA. Outstanding Syrah and Rhone varieties coming out of WA, and the Cabernet's pretty darn good too, just different than California - less plush and more acidity, due to the cooler nights, and not as pricy for very good quality wines. Enjoy!

Across the board we've been pretty impressed with what they have to offer, really a nice mix of more typical Napa/Sonoma varietals alongside more unique offerings (at least for the region) like Pinot Blanc or the Grenache. Best, Evan
