May 24, 2014 - User opinion was best between 2010 and 2011, but I opened this mid-2014 and it showed no signs of being past its prime. Very enjoyable. Clean and well balanced. Decent depth of flavor and aroma.
October 8, 2013 - Not sure why some say past prime...I found this still crisp and fresh. It wasn't really much like a Rhone to me, and I had a really hard time finding Viognier character. Whatever it is, I found it a very good blend with a character of its own that is very tasty with food. We tried with a lump crab cake in garlic, pesto pasta. It worked great with all flavors, especially brought out the crab. I'd buy again.
July 20, 2013 - I've followed the evolution of this wine for over two years, from crisp salinity to a lush fruit bomb to an elegant, Condreui like present. My bottle was not old in any way, showing lichhe, guava, exotic melon and baking spices, lively acidity with a rhone like lengthy dry finish. Amazing with fresh crab meat.
March 24, 2013 - Fresh, good fruit. The Viognier flavor is mild, but nicely balanced, which makes it good easy drinking with seafood. It enjoyed it very much. I was worried that maybe it was a little too old, but is was nice. I would buy again, but a newer vintage as I like my white wines fresh. Although this wine was fine. I have nothing to complain about.
March 12, 2013 - Waited too long! I've had this wine before and really enjoyed the interesting blend but it is well past it's drinking window and has lost it's character.
September 3, 2012 - Nice everyday wine for the price. Fruity,, not alot of acid.
August 24, 2012 - One of the few Aussie Rhones I like consistently, you can almost taste the ocean from the minerality and salinity.
Slightly funky nose, Great acidity, nice texture, lots of stone fruit.
August 20, 2012 - Peaches, poached pears, allspice and white blossoms. Dry, medium-bodied, with long finish.
August 20, 2012 - Reall nice fruit, fresh and tasty. Great for a warm summer night
August 13, 2012 - Drank in room at Disney. Sandy liked it. Matt and I liked it. Matt probably drank more of this than us because we left the bottle with him. Sweeter than chardonnay.
