(blind) medium straw Moderately aromatic nose. Oak influenced. Ripe fruit -ripe peach. Slightly overripe peach. Medium plus body, elevated alcohol - 14%. Ripe attack - possibly some RS. Medium acid. Moderate bitterness. Slight oily viscosity.
Slight oak, semi-terpenic, medium acid and high alcohol.
California Viognier - acid is too high Too aromatic/peachy for marsanne-roussane blend. Too low acid to be a white burgundy. Too bitter for Cali Chard. Final Call: Condrieu 2012 Actually Raymond 2013 Napa Chardonnay 14.5% alcohol
