I am not a big white drinker but this could change my mind. Although certainly not big, it was complex and long lasting. Pretty special.

Excellent Viognier. One of the best we've had in quite a while.

Pop and pour - initial bouquet was flowers and perfume, though it faded to a more grassy/citrus nose after a few minutes.
Taste - kiwi, lime, apricot and avocado with a mildly buttery mouthfeel. Citrus finish.
Paired well with a roasted chicken

Floral but with some body. Paired very well with salmon prepared with a mango sauce.

This wine is a gorgeous example of what a Viognier can taste like in Washington. By far the best I've had in the state. Will buy more.
