I love Viognier in a red blend but often times in this price range, it just doesn't work. This is a weird, disjointed little wine.

Nice table wine for under ten bucks. Nothing to complain about.

Better after airing out some, but still a bit flat. Good for football watching.

Drank this one a while ago. I remember liking it quite a bit, but have no idea why. Just hung on to the bottle so I wouldn't forget. Wish I could remember where I bought it.

Just found this lacking any real flavor or body for a blend with so many good grapes.
