Taste profile from the winemaker: "Pale straw color with aromas of lemon zest and jasmine with a hint of pink grapefruit. The palate is full with green apple, light cinnamon & clove flavors which underscore the ripe apricot and peach nectar and finishes with honeyed tropical notes."
ABC Wines review: Another wine found in the back of the cellar, this viognier is deep golden in color with an aroma of overly ripe fruit and somewhat rancid honey. The spicy, almost smoky, flavors are nearly overpowered by a tart acidity. The finish is somewhat unpleasant. Possibly well past its prime at this point in time or maybe never very good in the first place. Our score: Inferior, nearly undrinkable.
