88/100
"Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of peach gummies, tinned pears, hints of juniper, bay, and steamed rice with a supple, crisp, dryish light-to-medium body and an even, medium-length finish evoking notes of dried apple with a suggestion of oak flavor. An easy-drinking Viognier for everyday indulging".
Wine Folly
Page 186 of Wine Folly describes a bright, fruity flavor profile for Viognier wines. I tasted that as well, especially the peach. I also tasted some oaky notes in this wine that aren't listed in the book. It's also a bit cheaper than I would have expected, since Viognier is on the more expensive side of the grapes listed in the book.
Personal Review
This wine is moderately sweet, but balanced with a soft tartness. It
tasted primarily like peach at first, and the finish was more oaky with a
hint of spice. It wasn't a super complex flavor profile but I think the flavors that are there are nicely balanced. I think it's a nice medium-bodied white, and a solid price for a Viognier.
