September 21, 2015 - Vin organique. Nez de fruits tropicaux. En bouche, belle rondeur caractéristique du viognier. Excellent vin apéritif.

August 22, 2015 - Wine Spectator Blind tasting class with David Glancy (San Francisco): Clear, star-bright, medium concentration lemon in the glass, slight reflections of green.
N: Aromatic. White flower. Slight honeyed note. Maybe botrytis? White nectarines - ripe, white blossoms. Lime component.
Dry, medium plus body, elevated alcohol - 14%. Elevated acid. Canned fruit cocktail. Also honeysuckle floral component.
Slight phenolic bitterness.
Acid is elevated. Slight presence of used oak - damp wood, nuttiness.
Finish is long. Rich, balanced.
Semi-aromatic grape varietal,
Warmer climate.
Albarino, Spain (acid might be a bit too low?)
Gruner Veltliner (acid isn’t high enough).
Viognier - acid is too high.
Gewurz - no rose petals,
Torrontes - body is pretty high.
My thoughts: No idea.
Result:
Bonterra Viognier, 30% barrel fermented, a little muscat in this.
Structure and aromatics - so ripe and flashy, the CA call makes sense.
14,.5% Alcohol, 2013 vintage. -

December 19, 2014 - Seems to be an ideal representation of Viognier: super aromatic, noticeably floral with some peach and other tropical fruit, very round, med acid. This Viognier has some residual sugar and is surprisingly hot, at 14.5.
