  MNB: High Terpene Whites (Home (Noe st)): (blind)
  
  Pale Lemon color.
  Medium intensity aromatics of lees and slightly developed stone fruit. Canned peach. Nectarine.
  Some RS - around 10g.
  - Full-bodied
  - High alcohol and viscous - 14.5%
  - Slight oak - but used.
  - Ripe and overripe peach
  - Medium acid
  - High bitterness
  Long unctuous finish.
  
  Condrieu
  - CA Viognier - not high alcohol enough, no overt new oak.
  - Gewurz - not sugary enough, nor aromatic enough.
  
  Final guess: 2014 Condrieu, but could use more fruit.
  
  Actually: Cline Viognier!!!
  This is damn good for a $17.99 California Viognier, and easily the best wine from Cline I've ever tasted.

  color: light yellow; nose: apple; taste: light-bodied mouthfeel, soft and slightly sweet taste, firm medium-length finish with notes of apple and flint, mild tannins; overall: pleasant and simple, fair QPR ($13/bottle), ready to drink as of Feb 2017, would pair well with Thai, Ethiopian, or other spicy foods
