This is a nice wine. Golden in color, clear and bright. It has a very pretty nose. Peaches with a floral note. Slightly viscous texture. On the palate, nice acidity. Peach fruit notes. Good finish. This is refreshing and an excellent value. Nice on its own, but better with food. This would be nice with lighter foods such as fresh seafood.
Very nice expression of a northern Rhone Viognier. Deep golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is perfumed with floral notes as well as peach, slight hay, and slight golden raisin. Full bodied. Viscous, slightly oily texture. On the palate, some waxiness with some pear, slight orange and just a hint of floral notes. Good acidity. Dry. Long finish. This probably should be drunk in the next few years to enjoy the freshness. Nice on its own, this would work well with lighter foods but would be nice s well with lobster.

A bit of a bitter ginger note on the finish. This needs a bit of cellaring, maybe two or three years, and then should drink well for five to eight more years. Very nice on its own, this will work better with food. Shellfish would be a nice
