bright yellow color, elevated nose of orange blossoms, melon and soft white marble, on the palate an absolute joy, sweet pink melon, hint of fig, guava, a rich fruit with a buttery quality, fine long finish with a slight chalky firmness that adeptly and subtly complements the slight sweetness elsewhere, honeysuckle notes come on with time, this is really lovely wine and most unique. Worth seeking out.
****, ready to drink and time in hand

This wine is coming into its own right now. The last bottle was not to my liking, maybe awkward bottle stage but not enough fruit and was out of balance with the acid. It is all coming together now. The fruit is taking its place centerstage, still has crisp palate cleaning quality but it all works together now. Have one more bottle and will wait a couple years for it Enjoy

This was the hit of the afternoon party! I appreciated its over beauty of structure, depth of flavors, and purity. Others had never had a Viognier and were bowled over by the wine. This bottle is terrific and seems to be drinking very nicely now and should for at least two more years.

Paired with a salad with onions, feta, peaches, and nectarines. Holy WOW! It really brought out the stone fruit notes in the wine. Beautiful pairing!
