Sandhill Small Lots Viognier 2009, VQA Okanagan Valley, Osprey Ridge Vineyard
British Columbia, Canada$26.95
Lots of aromatic fruit intensity. Definitely in the tropical style with bits of florality and spice. Full-bodied and rich, but I thought the acid was there in support. Perhaps not as layered as great Condrieu but better than most NW Viognier I have had.

Ravenswood Vintners Blend Zinfandel 2009, California
California, Usa$17.95
Let's be honest its alcohol overwhelms the nicer elements of the nose such as ripe raspberry and cocoa. Medium to full body, with some slightly metallic tannins and heat on the finish. Second sip is less buringing than the first but I think I will have a hard time drinking more more than one glass in a session.
