Consumed at a range of temperatures, from ice cold to under-chilled. I'm a fan of Condrieu wines but this lacks the aggressive perfume of those -- and I mean that in the best way possible. Instead of being all "Barbie doll" with a lot of show up front and no substance, this was delicately aromatic with just enough citrus fruit on the palate to please and balance. Plenty of acid, where Condrieu usually falls short. I continue to enjoy these wines.

For those looking for a highly aromatic Viognier...look elsewhere. This wine is well-balanced, crisp and aromatic..but not in the usual mandarins-gone-wild kind of way. I can't recall the winemaking techniques used but regardless, I liked the change of pace.

No formal note, but consistently a very nice wine. Full of fruit without being fruity, well structured, nice finish and very little of the sometimes punishing finish of Malbec or Cab. Together they're nice.
