  WSET2 Course Notes; 10/22/2023-11/5/2023 (WineHouse, Los Angeles): Appearance: Medium lemon with green hues.
  Nose: Medium intensity. Nectarines and almost apricots. Blossom of honeysuckle. Honeydew melon. Vanilla, caramel and even toffee.
  Palate: Dry, medium acidity (esp. after the SBs). Medium to high alcohol, medium body and intensity. Vanilla really shows. White peach. Surprising and almost clashing (with other notes) grassiness. Medium finish.
  9/18. Very good. This was my first 100% Viognier. I now understand why I love it as a blending partner (for example, in Ornellaia Bianco and Ixsir El White). However, I don't think I will go for a pure Viognier often.

  Pale yellow with straw hues at the edge. Aromas of stone fruits like peach and apricot. Medium bodied and dry. Flavors confirm peach and apricot plus pear and a touch of minerality...as well as a warming note indicating medium+ to high alcohol. Long finish.
  
  Note: alcohol reported as 13%, but I find this unlikely given the warmth of the 2020 vintage. Probably closer to 13.8-14% in my estimation.
