Cellared for 2 years, think I paid around $27 Cdn. I am a regular fan of the Y series Viognier and it might have been fun to compare the two wines side-by-side, altho` there would have been obvious differences. This bottle was 14.5% alc. Very much a social occasion so no real notes.

Pale yellow color with some noted green tints. The nose was unusual in that we found some smoke on the nose, along with minerality and peach. Not all that creamy at this later stage of developement.
The smokey component did not show on the palate, but some slight citrus bitterness. Medium-bodied, long finish with orange but no oak. I did enjoy this, did not have food which was of no real concern. Just enjoy!
