Miner Family, 'Simpson Vineyard', Viognier, 2007
I usually like Viognier, and this was no exception. The nose was all kinds of stuff: papapya, mango, lettuce, lemon, and cantaloupe. The nose was herbal (lavender?), lemon, but mostly very floral! The finish retained the floral elements, but also with some spice -- oregano, and hints of something really spicy like cayenne. The only downside was this was just a bit too sweet -- and a tad thick -- for my tastes (no, not to say it was syrupy).
