Mark Ryan is known for big wines, and this Viognier is no exception. Honeysuckle and cantaloupe notes jump from the glass and are supported by a plethora of other wonderful notes including banana fosters, white peach, and vanilla. The fruit is sourced from Olsen Vineyard and Red Willow Vineyard — both very highly regarded in Washington wine circles. If you are a Viognier fan, put this beauty on your list.
