12.5% alc.
45% Viognier, 45% Rousanne, 10% Marsanne.

Just such a nice, uncomplicated, thirst quencher bursting with fruit.
Is this a memorable wine that's going to haunt your dreams for decades?
No - but if you're on a budget (aren't we all?) at $6.99 from Trader Joe's this great QPR should be on your radar.
(as should their GSM blend for the same price).

Pontificis VRM 2015. Decent varietal blend character but quite soft. At under $8 at TJ still attractive to bargain hunters.

Great bold wine with easy tannins. Good to drink alone or with food.

Delicate, yet elegant. Don’t forget to sufficiently chill.

Perfect balance of fruit, of smooth refined character, and minerality. Excellent

Very mellow, full tasting with a slight lemony aftertaste. I prefer crisp whites, so this is way too mellow for me.
