Winery review: This is a luscious viognier, featuring a deep yellow color, that explodes with juicy peach and honeysuckle flavors. Viognier can easily become flabby, but this one manages to keep its figure within bounds. I recommend this for immediate, lip-smacking enjoyment.
Additional winemaker notes: Again, this was difficult for me to taste, given that I was sick with a cold. I picked up strong flavors of apple, pineapple, and peach, and a heavy floral scent that must be the honeysuckle identified above. I enjoyed this wine very much. I did not try with food.
