Community Tasting Notes 1

  July 22, 2006 - Had this initially as the starter wine to a tasting of 2004 Rhone whites. This little number more than held its own. I'm not a Viognier fan... it too often goes overly floral and blowsy or phenolic with lanolin notes. Well, there's none of that here. Flavors of apricot and pear are sharpened by notes of allspice and white pepper. Drunk at cellar temp, this belies its $8 price tag - I'd be fine if this had cost twice that. There's some acid on the palate to brighten things, but not so much as to be unbalanced. And, it has survived very nicely over three nights in the fridge. Highly recommended... A grrat summer white that would be worht holding and drinking for a year or so. I'm a bit curious to see what it would do at age five...
