2005 Columbia Valley Viognier

“Excellent!” “Cecil Zerba has already shown his prowess with Syrah, so why not with the Northern Rhone 's white wine, too? This wine opens with aromas of fresh, whole lemons and a hint of butterscotch, followed by fresh, rounded, luscious fruit flavors. This is a sophisticated white that will be a good transition for Chardonnay lovers.” Wine Press Northwest , Summer 2007

“Recommended!” Wine Press Northwest, Spring 2007
