Not viscous! Riesling beauty here. Floral and petro on the nose. Peach and zest on the mouth watering, off dry palate.

Not sure of the wisdom calling this one Viscous. Is high viscosity really a goal here? Are they running out of 'v' words? Is it meant to evoke thoughts of petroleum that could be a tasting note in riesling? Anyway, I didn't pick up petroleum notes in this one, but it's a pleasant riesling nonetheless. Limey to be sure, and as it says on the bottle, a "zippy finish". This is a thirst quencher that's all about balance. The style may be a touch off-dry, but only a touch. Well made! A Naramata riesling!
