Probably past its prime but still very nice. Apricot, pear, apple complemented by minerals. Not getting the citrus other reviewers cited. Quite acidic, possibly due to age, but not to the extent it detracts from the wine.

Light golden straw in color. Nicely dry and well balanced acidity. Crisp bartlett pear upfront with some apricot and lime notes intermingled. A subtle minerality to keep things lively.

A very nice high end Willamette Valley viognier enjoyed recently at the February tasting of the Hickory Wine Club, one of the four initial obligatory whites before hitting the reds. Crisp, slightly yellow, nicely dry, well balanced medium bodied wine, very smooth. I definitely recommend this and at the average CT price this wine has a good QPR. Nose dry with green apple and citrus, primary flavors include lemon grass, citrus, green apple and mint.
