This is an outstanding wine drinking at its best moment now. Virginia Viognier is world class and beautiful. Nose here is peach, pear, floral, lanolin, and a light/clean incense. Palate is balanced with medium acidity, medium alcohol, and a full body. Apricot, peach, and toffee. Tertiary sweetness is amazing. White pepper on the long and very rich finish. Finish is on the roof of the mouth and beautifully carries the flavors of the wine forever. Wow. Fantastic wine.

Perhaps I've moved past Bernd's viogniers? Or simply shifted more solidly into dry whites and farther away from any hint of sweetness? Unfortunately, this resided in my fridge a bit too long, but still found it rather more forcefully sweet than I wanted. Might have worked with something spicy, but on its own just came across as overly assertive.

Super pale color. A hint of honey on first sip.
