Decent drink if rather alcoholic on the palate. Still, can't quibble for the price when Viognier is usually a pricey wine.

I'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."
