had in a mini vert with 10, 12 and 14. My favorite of the 3. bright and focused too with honey, spearmint, pears, vanilla and flowers but more generous and round. Nice pairing with crab.
Floral on the nose with some peach aromas. Steely freshness, more linear than a CDP version but with nice pure flavors of peach, citrus and a pretty minerality. 91 points

Delicate, airy version of Viognier. Aroma of white tea with a bit of peach. Silky and light on the palate, the flavors dance and intermingle with the acidity. Longish finish hides in the corner of your mouth. Not for the fans of Big and Bold, this goes for subtle and succeeds.

Really quite excellent. Started this at cellar temp (55 degrees), and it was a little too warm (didn't have the crispness we were looking for). Slightly cooler, and it was excellent. Wish I had more. Agree with W.A. on the rating, slightly higher because I thought it was better than the '12 Pride Viognier, which I rated 91-92.

Pale white gold. A floral bouquet with notes of pear and pineapple. Flavors of pear, white peach and pineapple in a very long finish. Medium dry and well balanced. Excellent.

A friend and I had this at the 10/19/13 fall release. It had a fresh, fragrant bouquet of pear, peach, pineapple and spice aromas. The palate was rich and fresh with flavors that followed the nose...very enjoyable. 91+

Light color. Dry elegant wine with peach aroma, steely body (part for a Viognier) slight Carmel on the end after open for a while.

Lovely wine. Definitely on the delicate and refined side of the portfolio and it works very well.
Would buy again.

light/med body and finish. Stretching the limits at $35, but it's a nice, dry minerally white.

An elegant aroma; delicate body with white peach, white flowers and a hint of pineapple. "... If this was inexpensive, we'd call it light!"
