Right out of the glass, this wine broadcasts classic Viognier scents of citrus blossom, citrus rind and, well, citrus fruit. It’s forward and expressive, a bit on the sweet and sugary side, but that goes a long way to cut the bitterness that many Viogniers have in the finish. Drink it well chilled, preferably with hot, spicy foods.——P.G.(12/31/2008)—— 85
