Smoking Loon Viognier 2004


We enjoyed Viogniers long before they became the varietal de jour they seem to be now. So we were predisposed to enjoy this 2004 Smoking Loon Viognier--and weren't disappointed. "Lots of flavour," say our notes from January 21 (yes, we're still trying to catch up). "Grapefruit...A bit of caramel on the nose and as it warms in the mouth."

We've since had it a couple more times, both by the bottle at home and by the glass at a restaurant. We continue to recommend it highly.

This costs $16.50 a bottle in our government-run liquor stores.
