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.

Fine Wines
Concentrated, with focused almond, acacia, mango and dried pineapple flavors. Nice cut to the finish, with lingering anise notes that really open up in the glass. Great mouthfeel. Drink now through 2008. 1,500 cases made. -JM Wine Spectator. A Viognier wine from Rhone in France. 2005 Guigal Condrieu la Doriane 750ml
