Does not have the richness, not the smooth, creamy mouthfeel of a Condrieu for instance, which is my gold standard for Viognier. Also, has a lot of sediment requiring decantation.

Nose of honeysuckle, nectarine, melon, lemon peel and hazelnut. Palate echoes the nose. Rich and creamy with a very long finish. Well balanced. Served with steamed snow crab legs and garlic butter.

Best on day 2 and with just a slight chill (not too cold). Beautiful cornucopia of fruit nectars—peach, apricot, orange, tropical fruits. Almost has a texture to it. Nice acidity. Really enjoyed.

Popped and poured. Was in the refrigerator. At first a little too cold to show its true glory but got better in 15 minutes. Exotic nose. The wine is medium bodied with good balance. Peaches, tropical fruits, mint come through on the palate with a nice acidic backbone. Drinks well now. I wouldn’t let it age too long.

Honeysuckle, white peach, melon, lemon peel, coconut, hazelnut and wet stone aromas and flavors. Lingering finish with good depth. Well balanced. A very pretty wine. Served with crab cakes and remoulade.

With Johnny and Eddie at Francesca's Palos Heights. Some nice floral and pepper components. Lots of fruit on the front end as well. The palate has nice weight and there is a little waxy note that was nice. Pretty good.

Aromatic nose. Orange blossom, peach, melon, lemon, lime and hazelnut. Palate mirrors the nose. Ripe creamy mid-palate with a long, layered finish. Good acidic balance. A very pretty Viognier. Served with lobster.

Paired with roasted chicken with thyme, lemon and onions, mashed potatoes and garden salad. Delicious wine (we added 1/2 cup to the chicken recipe too). Honeysuckle is the word when describing this wine. Sweet honey, floral, herbaceous, and mineraly (is that even a word?) flavors are apparent. Just a great wine, and perfect pairing for our meal. Drink now - 2028+.

very solid viognier.. great aromatics.. deep yellow color. this was to my taste a little on the light side in the mouthfeel.. was hoping it would be a little heavier on the mouth.. finished strong with citrus peel and lingering spice.. smoothed out after being open for a couple hours.. so it still has time..

Pale yellow and slightly cloudy. Wax and orange peel, ripe peach and pear on the nose. Full bodied on the palate. The acidity hits on the back palate and finish. Very pleasant!

Viognier is a varietal that I don't have a lot of experience with but this Viognier was just delicious with nice acidity and balance. It's ready to drink and the surprising part of the tasting experience was that it had a little body, as opposed to drinking a typical Sauvignon Blanc.

Supple and round, but with a profound citrus note. Best when not too cold.

White flowers, wax, circus peel on the nose. Well-integrated, but full-bodied on the palate. The finish goes on and on!

Very floral with some sweet stone fruit backing. Mice and refreshing for a glass but wouldn’t want the entire bottle.
