You might not expect Arizona to deliver textbook Viognier characteristics of honeysuckle and stone fruit with gentle spice tones, but it would be worth your while to round up a bottle of this to have those expectations defied. A combination of neutral and once-used oak, stainless steel and sandstone jar aging make this a multi faceted affair that you are sure to enjoy. I’m tasting more and more good things from the state.
