Beautiful Viognier. Creamy, rich and full on the palate, pretty jasmine, white peach and honeysuckle on the nose. Could use a touch more acid to be perfectly balanced, but a great example of what a lush Viognier can be.

I just can't get down with Viognier. 2nd Condrieu ever and I just don't get the appeal for the price. The low acid is a turnoff. Aromatics are pretty though.

Gorgeous spice & fleshy melon fruit. Lingers on the palate with detail & nuance. Doing have much Viognier, but this 2014 is great.

I'm used to pacific NW Viognier, and this French version is way more high powered! Lots of pears, high alcohol. Enjoyed this, but prefer lighter, more restrained Viognier.

A bright, forward style, with green melon , abricot and green fig flavors leading the way, followed by a light anise edge.

Ripe and unctuous overall, but with a racy edge. Apricot and nectarine notes provide a foil for the core of melon, green fig and creamed peach. A lovely brioche accent caresses the finish
