High QPR! I've had three bottles over the past two weeks as I am on a bit of a Viognier kick. I love it with this 15% of a local variation of Muscat added in. A lot of Viognier is being done in oak to its detriment. This appears to be all stainless and it really helps keep those floral aromatics. In a mixed case I paid about $7 for this bottle which is an absolute steal. I will gladly pour this for friends this summer. Visually: clear pale lemon in the glass. Nose: Medium plus to high intensity on the nose. Aromas of Apricot, honey blossom, flowers, Peaches and cream. decadent nose that is a joy. On the palate: Medium acidity. Medium plus body. Long finish. Low to no tannin. Medium alcohol (13% ABV).

Enjoyable semi-sweet medium to full body. Floral, peach, creamy notes. Mild acidity.
