Sampled 8/9/10. This wine took a full hour to open. Some very nice apricot and tropical fruits in an understated and classy style. Not particularly sweet, but not too dry either. A very well balanced wine that stil lhas couple very good years left in it.

taste: full bodied with big tones of oils, peaches, tropical citrus', and tones of white fruits. There is some noticeable heat that bites on the back end
overall: The heat is a bit much. This is also very big for a viognier and its hard to gauge it. If this got chilled down a bit, the heat may not be as noticeable

Drank w/ dad on Thanksgiving on his request (surprised that he requested a white wine)...Let this breathe for an hour or 2 and come to nearly room temp...This is still one of the best domestic viogniers on the market! Delicious.

Still drinking well....likely not many more years left in it, but certainly enjoyable.

Fight Night Wines V (matt's, highland park IL): nose: rich and big nose of oils, white fruits, peaches, and bits of peach blossoms. Good depth, but almost too rich on the nose
