Christmas eve appetizers. Medium body and fruity but not too sweet.

Sep 8th, 2015OK as viogniers go. I'm a Rhone varietals fan, and this is well-structured with strong honey overtones, but I'm waiting for some sharp fruit to punch through the sweet, and it doesn't happen. Falls a bit short for me.

Dec 7th, 2015I've never had this varietal before. Floral and fruity on the nose, a bit sweeter than my usual tastes but it's not overwhelming. It actually is really nice with chips and salsa.
Quote from my tasting buddy: "It reminds me of boxed Zinfandel... But that could be the salsa talking."
