    September 17, 2018 - This wine is still drinking fantastically! Aromas of dried apricot, lychee, blossom honey, and honeysuckle. Nice round tropical, slightly citrusy, flavors on the palate. Still a touch of unresolved tannin. Nice acidity. Paired well with a stone ground mustard salmon arugula salad.

    October 6, 2012 - Pretty good RRV Viognier. Have to agree with previous posts. Excellent with broiled halibut, but a very nice wine to drink even without food. Would definitely buy again.

    August 10, 2012 - For the appellation, it's wonderful. For the West Coast, ditto. Nicely more viscous than many. The winemaker again shows a clear affinity for European technique. I like the white pepper finish. It tastes like viognier, just as it should.

    May 14, 2012 - This is one of the better Viognier's in the Russian River Valley. Layers of stone fruit mixed in with a crisp minerality. Delicious.
