($12, Vineyard Brands): Viognier can be a difficult grape to vinify because the window between ripeness and over ripeness is narrow.  Cono Sur has succeeded admirably with this attractive, bargain-priced rendition.  They’ve captured the spice and floral nature of Viognier while avoiding heaviness and warmth of excessive alcohol.  Lime-like citrus notes lend an attractive, subtly bitter component.
