Introduction
musedir was just in the Dallas area taking one of his groups on tours of the local Dallas-Fort Worth museums and private collections. Needless to say after such "hard work" viewing art for a couple of days he was thirsty and needed to get together with a few CellarTracker forum members to share a few bottles. Here are the results:

WIML92
Tasted non blind at a wine dinner. Opened and served immediately.
Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of sea spray, lime spritz and a dash of allspice ending with a little wet stones. Flavors of light apricot core, peach wasser and Anjou pear. Medium to bright acidity, full bodied. Drink or hold. I'd likely drink over the next two years.
The description in CellarTracker is a little different than the label but the picture does match so it is the same wine. The label clearly says "2011 Force Majeure Viognier Collaboration Series".
