Reviews and Ratings

Wineboy rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This is what Viognier is all about in my books. A fuller weight white without the oak. Softer acids, and lovely floral elements provide a nice counterpoint for Chardonnay lovers. Also, what a price !! Weight, floral and price had my heart.
Love this aromatic, vibrant and dry Viognier from the McManis Family Vineyards (2016). Ripe peach on the nose with even riper stonefruit and soft orange citrus flavours on the palate. McManis succeeded in having their vineyard in the River Junction recognized as its own AVA, because of its unique mesoclimate. Pair with pan-seared panfish. - Community Wine Reviews
