A great value in Viognier, thanks to moderate use of oak, which also brightens the fruit in this wine. It has vibrant citrus in the mouth, with cantaloupe and a hint of vanilla from older oak. The aromas are similar, with some honeysuckle, while the body is full and creamy, despite racy acids. The alcohol (15.5%) shows through a bit on the finish, but overall a harmonious wine.
