As others have mentioned, there's a serious concentration of fruit here led by notes of ripe peach and Honeydew melon. Hints of minerality emerge as it warms, and a clementine note comes in late, lingering on the medium finish. Could use a bit more acidity, but this is pretty damn tasty and a nice qpr at 20 bucks.

Medium golden yellow in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of peaches & melon & citrus notes of lemons/limes with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle & minerals, stony & lovely spice notes in the background. Medium-light bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of lemons/limes, melons & stone fruits with minerals & a hint of spices. Lingering dry finish. Drinks quite well at present although it may continue developing with an additional aging.

I snagged this bottle on a whim at Costco for under $20 (I don't recall the exact price) and, after drinking it, I'll head back to see if they have any more. I love the Viognier variety, so this isn't a TN where I usually don't like a wine but am posting because this is the first version I like. No, it's more a case of it being good enough to warrant mention. Very light, clear color. Bright aromas of under-ripe peach, white pepper and lemon verbena. On the palate, its relatively light weight belies is concentration: lots of stone fruit and ripe citrus. Great acidity and length for a Viognier. Really good stuff.

Not rounded like most viogniers. Ginger, baking spices, lychee.
