This is an excellent wine. #Viognier creamy, elegant, honey, lily notes, incredible quality for the price. Lemon cream and melon in mouth. Reminiscent of a Chardonnay. Maybe not for #winesnob but definitely for #winelovers

Pale lemon in color with a light golden hue.

Nice nose of white flowers, lemons, citrus, honey, apples, pears, herbs, minerals, light liche, tropical fruits and white pepper.

Full bodied with medium plus acidity and crisp.

Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, citrus, sea salt, white pepper, green apples and herbs.

Medium plus on the finish with white pepper.

This is a nice California Viognier. Tasty, with a great flowery nose.
Well balanced and enjoyable by itself or with food. Not very complex but enjoyable nonetheless.

I paired it with light appetizers.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Light gold in color.

Great nose of white flowers, green apples, grapefruit, limes, minerals and white pepper.

Medium plus in body, and crisp, with medium plus acidity and some legs.

Dry on the palate with lemons, limes, grapefruits, citrus, sea salt, light peaches and white pepper.

Long finish with limes and bitter almonds.

A nice, simple, Californian Viognier, for everyday. Refreshing and crisp, as long as it is properly chilled.

I paired it with a platter of soft cheeses, crackers and dried fruits.
