Not bad, definitely ripe style!

Typical grocery store wine. Not bad, but nothing special. Indistinct citric and acidity help cut the slight sweetness. Needs to be really cold.

A little flat of flavor but an enjoyable very dry wine. Dry for sure with a hint of sweetness at the end. Serve extra cold to get mock brightness of better Viognier.

Really nice and pleasant - some citrusy granular notes throughout with a nice sharp finish. My first Texas wine tasting!

This is the wrong photo. But, I love the Viognier. I don't know why people call it bitter.

Cloying, bitter aftertaste. Don't mess with Texas, indeed...

Agree with others. Maybe ok with food, but not alone.

It's OK when paired with food (like the Swedish Pork that we paired with it), but not good just for drinking it alone
