This bottle was rich and quite tasty. I expected it to be over the hill and was pleasantly surprised to find that it had retained a hint of youthful acidity to brighten it up a bit, but with the richness that it has gained with age. Well played.

Crisp but receding acidity and delicious minerality balance the stone fruit. Not the ideal pairing for pan seared salmon and roasted veggies, but none to shabby, either.

Loved this. Very pale straw color, stone fruit, vibrant acidity and good concentration--feels bigger and more elegant on the palate than it looks. A standout among WA whites.

The wine looks straw colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like grapefruit, pineapple and stoniness. It tastes like grapefruit and acetic acid. The body is light/medium. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

60/25/5 Viognier/Rousanne/Marsanne. Stainless steel fermented. Not quite as aromatic (yet?) as 2012. Very hard to tell the difference between the two. This one a little more acidic.

A bit past its prime, but still drinking well enough to be enjoyed. Paired with grilled seasoned catfish.

Nice stone fruit flavors (peach, apricot) along with a crisp minerality. Goes down easy on a hot, humid night here in Lake George NY (on vacation).

Love this wine. My second bottle and I think I somehow like this better than the first. Looking for more.
