A tropical mélange of papaya, pineapple and mango on the nose, but it’s not over the top because there are these bright white flower aromas as well. Plump and generously textured with persistent acid. The papaya, green melon and tangerine flavors are laced with limestone and this flavor that reminds me of a mountain stream. Just a bit of honeycomb and lemon crème, probably from the 8 months this wine spends in contact with the lees, but this is more of a sleeker style of viognier. I really appreciate the overall balance and the length of the finish.

Curtis tasting room: Aromas of honey & butterscotch, banana, rose hips, orange zest. Round on the palate with clean pear-fruit flavors with a dense spice and mineral core. Crisp finish.

Had with a vegetarian Indian dinner. Excellent pairing. Some citrus with just the right amount of mineral.

Lighter bodied for a Viognier. More like a chard. Good acidity.
