I would imagine a Virginia viognier would be made for immediate consumption unless it was a desert wine. (Anyone out there had rosenblum's outstanding late harvest viognier?)
Maybe someone else has something more to add, but I wouldn't expect it to improve much from where it's at now.
Viognier is a great grape, but be warned that in 90% of affordable wines from this varietal, the nose will be better than the taste [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
A couple of afforfable Viognier that I like are Cline (which is somewhat sweet- the 05 is good to go...) and Altas Cumbres, a bone-dry Argentinian. The '04 from them is OUTSTANDING for the money. Both are around $10.
As a general rule you drink Viognier young unless it's Château Grillet or Condrieu.
