September 21, 2019 - Pop and pour, consumed over 2 hours. Nose: Medium expressiveness, melon rind, Meyer lemon, pear, and hints of licorice. Palate: Medium-full bodied, creamy mouth-feel, great balance - harmonious notes of minerals and citrus appear up front and are joined by a spicy lift thru the mid-palate, earthy, pear and licorice dominate the back-end. Finish: Medium-plus length, dominated by citrus, earth, and spice. Shows superb balance and power from front to back - quite impressive.

December 21, 2017 - Much better than the last bottle about 2 years ago. Better integrated. I know it's half viognier, but it's still a bit sweeter on the palate than I would have expected/preferred.

August 19, 2016 - This wine rocks my palate. Our first taste. The blend of Viognier, Roussanne, and Grenache Blanc is exceptional. No flaws. No sediment. Beautiful golden yellow color. Complex nose. To me, a little spicy, and, peppery. Some citrus fruits, perhaps, pear and apple. Faint white florals. No minerality of significance to me. Very old world nose. Got some bite. Low to medium tannin and acid. Medium alcohol. Long finish. Kudos to Keplinger. Immediate one of my faves. Absolutely ready to drink. Have no idea about bottle life, but, suspect this one will age.
