  Floral nose, stone fruits on the palate with good acidity and minerality. A little white pepper on the finish. Very nice!

  The wine is pale gold. The nose has something floral that I can't pinpoint. Orange blossom is the best I can come up with. Nose also of citrus/lemon. On to taste. Apricots, tangerine, lemon, and something spicy (ginger maybe). There is some of the viscosity I would expect from a Viognier, but not much. And I'm definitely not getting the "creaminess" I've experienced with other Viognier. There is a good bit of acidity (perhaps too much) and that may be what is fighting with the roundness I was looking for. Finish is all acid and spice, medium to long.
  
  We had it with some St. Andre triple cream cheese and a handful of cashews. It went pretty well with the snack.
  
  Summary: not what I was expecting. I would not consider myself a "Viognier drinker", I've probably had 5 or 6 others. The acid/spice component seemed to overpower the viscosity and typical Viognier mouthfeel I was looking for. We enjoyed the wine, it's just not what I want if I'm looking for Viognier. YMMV.

  PnP, chilled. Pale gold color in the glass. Nose of honeysuckle, peach, lemon peel and lanolin. Peach, apricot, citrus zest, golden delicious apple and white pepper on the palate.
  Medium bodied, slightly viscous with medium acidity and medium+ finish. With its floral nose and spicy finish, this reminds me somewhat of a Gewurz but the body and mouthfeel are pure Viognier.
