  The conventional wisdom these days seems to be that it’s a waste of time to age Viognier. This bottle certainly dispels that notion. Intense nose, palate, body and structure that delights with every sip. Not at all oxidative or sherry like, a perfect match with a rich carbonara sauce.

  Wow. Very aromatic. Very reminiscent of a rhone white--- i need to study how these differ. Carmelized mascarpone, lemon herbal; great acidity at this point!-balancing the caramelization in the finish! Long finish... Quite good. I am confident that the initial critic scores are too low. Might be 94. I challenge them to try this now. Congratulations Ehren!

  very well balanced wine with apricots, orange and sweet floral tones, Really nice wine, except that Alban Viognier tastes very similar (since it comes from the same place) and is much cheaper. I like this wine, but when I want more I will buy Alban Viognier
  Really good wine though
