With a cellar replete with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, this is a fun wine to drink. So many viogniers are sweet and in interesting. Not so with the Denner. Complex and beautiful.

We were very delighted by this white on a summer evening. It went remarkably well with flat iron steak and stuffed jalapeños. The wife wanted a white with the meal and so I felt this Viognier could hold up with meat and some heat and it definitely did. Impressive

Aged half in stainless steel and half in barrel. Bountiful aromas of pear, lychee, melon and white peach are married with scents of jasmine, peach blossom, nectarine and salted creamed butter with hints of vanilla bean pod and spice. Rich and creamy on the palate with medium-plus weight medium-plus acidity and moderate-plus alcohol. Flavors of nectarine, white peach, jasmine, lemon zest, Asian pear, butter, baking spices, mandarin, white flowers and a hint of vanilla.

Wonderful fruity nose. Tastes of tropical fruits, peach & apricot. Got better as we drank through the bottle. The flavors really came out as it opened up and warmed up. Suggest decanting it for a while before serving.

Light straw color. Floral nose of honeysuckle. Tastes of pear and peach with a dash of minerality. Very smooth texture with a bit of viscosity. Let it warm more to cellar temp for best enjoyment.

Drank this with my room mate from my University days at Kaiware Japanese Restaurant today over dinner.
Delicately balanced with nice notes of apricot, peach, pear and grapefruit.
Was able to match the seafood and Wagyu beef and brought the pairing to a greater height.

This bottle was far to buttery relative to earlier bottles but still had some acid to balance it out.

Very fresh and clean, however seemed a bit heavy for the type of viognier I really love. A bit too sharp for my liking.

Similar to prior note, but a little more integrated so adding a point.

Light, fruity, refreshing. As others commented, flavors deepened as it warmed, but remained in balance.

Meyer lemon, pear and jasmine, followed by some sweet notes mixed with minerailty. Not an overly sweet viognier. Good balance.

Smooth and easy to drink. Like others mentioned, it's creamy in texture with very subtle orange/citrus notes. Very enjoyable on a warm evening.

creamier than most viognier that I have tried. Not high in citrus. A perfect paring for seafood or veggies
