Aging gracefully this slight flacid, slightly hot Viognier is typical of the Simpson Vineyard, good fruit and flavor but just borderline out of balance. Too bad the vineyard is gone, the Syrah from there was also good.

Contribution to tasting group for Viognier - nose of banana, beeswax, white flowers, pineapple. Palate was waxy with flavors of white flowers and ginger. Seemed a bit hot - full body with med-minus acid and long finish. I expected more life ala Darioush's example. The wine displayed telltale markers, but I was personally disappointed with the end impression from such a noted producer.

A favorite from Miner...has the full body of Chardonnay but is much more food friendly. Nice honeysuckle notes. Tastes wonderful with any seafood swish, but equally fine with Chicken Piccata.
