Covington Cellars is located in an office park in Woodinville, Washington. Winemaker David Lawson makes an interesting array of reds and whites, including a sangiovese, a Semillon, a Cabernet, a Syrah, and several blends.
Viognier is one of my favorite white varietals. Covington’s 2007 Viognier is a bit heavy - almost in a dessert wine style - but is still very well made and enjoyable. Again, you’ll note the stainless steel fermentation on this white which generally increases the likelihood that I will enjoy it.

Pauly, I picked this wine up at the winery, although I have also seen it at Esquin in Seattle. I agree on Rulo. They make dynamite wines at very good prices. The Syrca in particular is a standout. Thanks for passing along the Viognier notes. I'll check them out.
