Clean bright fruit. Jasmine tea with a hint of citrus. Should age nicely.

A Blend of 97.5% Viognier and 2.5% Grenache Blanc. Aromas of ripe sweet stone fruits and mineral notes. On the palate apricot, peach and honeydew flavors on a good acidic structure. The finish lingers with plenty of minerality on the ending.

Had this for Mother’s Day brunch. Earthy, floral, dry but still a ton of zip. Goes great with or without food. I need 10 of these bottles on me at all time. Great price point.

Lovely Viognier from one of my favorite wineries. Citrus and melon hints. Love the grape and love the wine.

Acidity softened and aroma heightened with age. Enjoy chilled on a summer day with a cheese and stone fruit.

Yummy! Full body low acid, spice like cardamom? Mild yogurty and green pear nose 🍐 simple but tasty. Excellent for $13!!

Not like any Viognier I’ve tried, very dry and delicious. Not super fruit forward, which I like for this varietal.

Simple Dry Viognier - lots of apricot. Decent pairing for an evening of shrimp cocktail.
