Pale straw. Mushroom and wet clay. Lemon, green apple, orange/tangerine, and banana. Jasmine, salt, and pepper.. Medium plus (aka bright acidity, weighty) acidity and body. Phenolic bitterness on the long finish. Not your typical new world viognier...

Bright deep straw gold. Guava, banana, and white flowers on the nose and palate. Medium minus acidity enhances the full body. Medium short, slightly dark finish. A rich dish with a bit of zing or roasted poultry with a mushroom sauce would be great with this.

Very nice with tropical notes. Pleasantly surprised to taste a Virginia Viognier! Went well with our chicken and nice in the hot weather. Would buy again!

Good typicity. Great body. Just starting, but haven't yet had a disappointing Virginia wine.
