The Y Series Viognier
Tart, high acid, minerals, especially on the nose. Slight residual sugar. Oaky. Best cold. Gets astringent if it warms. Other than the heavy oak and high alcohol it drinks like a French viognier.

Aug 6th, 2020Just not a lot going on here. Nicely acidic, but way too much oak. Short finish. Ripe pears and peaches, but everything is just overpowered by oak. Definitely would not buy again.

Mar 22nd, 2020First viognier from down under. Surprisingly musky and minerally, with a bit of dried apricots. I could feel the alcohol (14.1abv), but a nice dry finish. Could stand up to many dishes & an easy weeknight wine
