What to Expect

Viognier is one of the great grapes of France's Rhone Valley. It is an extremely aromatic variety redolent of ripe peaches and wild flowers. It is frequently used to add aromatic complexity to blended wines but on its own, delivers a rich, soft wine with high alcohol and deep flavors of honey, peach, apricot and tangerine.

The 2004 Viognier exhibits the smoky, exotic side of this varietal. Notes of honeysuckle, peaches, and apricots along with good underlying acidity are found in this ripe, medium to full-bodied, fragrant Viognier. It is best consumed during its first year of life. -Wine Advocate Aroma of peach nectar. Plump and leesy, with rich, sweet fruit accented by honey and spice notes and framed by sound acidity. Not yet complex but thick and concentrated, not to mention long on the aftertaste. -IWC
