While Viognier is now grown all over the wine world, there can be no doubt that its spiritual homeland is Condrieu in France's northern Rhône. The appellation was created in 1940, and today approximately 40 growers make wines from just over 100 hectares of vineyards. The wines are dry with a wonderfully unique floral nose of peaches, apricots, violets and pears. They tend toward quite high alcohol, with low-ish acidity and are best enjoyed young. A top quality Condrieu can make for a truly memorable wine experience.

This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
