Pepperwood Grove Viognier

First of all, I have to thank Alaska/Horizon for the complimentary wine. It makes screaming toddlers a little more bearable. A little. Very little.

Normally, I'd have chosen the red, but alas, they were out of (or didn't stock) the Radius Merlot on my flight. Maybe on the way home from Cali...

Pepperwood's viognier is a warm amber color.
Faint apricot on the nose, along with bright green grass and a little wood.
Tastes of peach with a slightly spicy, peppery note. Not sweet, even with the apricot favors. Instead, it's surprisingly crisp.

Probably not something I'd buy, but I could see pairing it with pork chops and a nice apple sauce or chutney.
