A strong smell of oxidation initially seemed to confirm that this was indeed far over its peak, however the smell quickly dissapated with some air and it turned out to still be an amazing wine. If this was poured blind I would have believed this to be an skin-contact white on the first look, it was that orange! The more air it got, the better it got. This will definitly keep for another 3 - 4 years or so.

Renee's: Sweet faint floral nose, light candy; mouth is still in tact but has clear RS, lost a bit of weight on the palate, but pleasant and holding up. Kind of a fruity-tooty viognier(or was); slightly sour and thin in the finish. On its last legs for sure!

Bright and full bodied, spicy pear and vanilla buttery oak finish. Approaching end of its prime so drink up. Perfect complement to our lobster dinner. Purchased at the winery - small production, so my be hard to find.

WONDERFUL FRUIT IN THE NOSE AND FLAVOR, STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM WITH CITRUS AND A TOUCH OF SWEETNESS ON THE FINISH.

WONDERFUL FRUIT IN THE NOSE AND FLAVOR, STRAWBERRIES, AND JUST A TOUCH OF SWEETNESS ON THE FINISH. MEDIUM LENGTH FINISH.
