Eh. Pop it in a Starbucks Venti and take it to the beach.

To me, it tastes like a cheap, overripe, New World wine.

Lemon yellow in color. Tropical fruit, peach, and light floral notes evident on the nose. Medium weight and somewhat viscous on the palate with ripe yellow apple and peach but a bit flabby and lacking in acidity. Made from 100% unoaked Viognier with only partial malolactic fermentation coming in at 13% alcohol, it drinks like ripe, warm climate California Chardonnay.

Straw, clear, bright.
White grape, peach, and pear on the nose with a touch of oak when I'm looking for it. Floral as well.
Things are much more clear for me in the pallatte. A nice light oaking with a mouth full of flowers. Roses. Strong acidity and the same fruits as in the nose. The minerality reminds me it's an old world white. The touch of bitterness that comes with all this makes this not quite for me, but is better with food. Did this one blind before I knew wines other than Chardonnay got oaked. Yay learning.
