My 1000:d review, was supposed to be something smashing🥂oh well, there’s always 2000…
This wine was spicy, flowery, acid-driven and surprisingly well made considering the price.

One of my top two Viogniers for under $10. Highly floral, fruity pebbles, and honey notes. This wine ages will too as I have layed a couple bottles down in the past.

Is this supposed to be a sweet wine? Rich, velvety, apricots, peach, field of flowers, vanilla, nectarine, and grapefruit. I can not recall the last time I had Viognier! Very enjoyable, suggesting as an aperitif or dessert wine!

Lovely to pair with a dish that has ricotta, or blue cheese, as I did. It was lightly acidic, but a delicate sweetness takes over before you even notice the acidity. The last notes are a simultaneous experience of honey, melon and citrus. These notes last before gracefully dissipating, but are amplified when paired with the right dish! A 10 all-around for myself and the other individual experiencing this treat!

Well balanced fruity nose, slightly acidic, medium finish. Mild oak flavor. Nice but not a great Viognier. I like Cline better

Very smooth, low alcohol taste. Lost of fruit in the nose. Medium plus acidity. Very crisp apple/pear taste. Almost gingery.
