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.

Jun 6th, 2020Minerality with fruit overtones. Slight grass tones on the nose with lush mouthfeel. Pleasant acidity in finish.
Enjoyable and versatile.

Oak overtones, giving way to a medium full body with unexpected depth on the finish. Fruit notes are light amidst the slightly toasted backbone, but maintains a light acidity in the heavier body.

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!
