Floral and spice notes on the nose along with an exotic quality I can only call oysters. Nearly medium bodied with nice, open fruit through the middle, but not as much in the way of floral qualities as I would've liked. Good spice and mineral notes on the finish. Overall, a well put together wine, but one that should probably be drunk in the next year or so.

the last thing that viognier should ever be is neutral, and yet here we are. more oak than terpenes or characteristic varietal aroma. could have been confused for chard. nothing wrong, but dont expect it to be classic

Pale gold. Peachy nuts and spice on the nose and palate. Relatively high acidity for a Viognier. Full mouthfeel. Bitters on the lengthy finish. Great with rich seafood dishes.

I am a fan of viognier, and this is one of the best I have had recently. Prominent mineral nose and mid-palate with a long finish, it elevated roast chicken with root vegetables and made for a mellow after dinner transition.
