November 25, 2021 - A great pairing with a traditional Thanksgiving day meal. Light gold; very pretty nose of flowers and stone fruit; med. + body with flavors of stone fruit, hint of citrus. Delicious. However, I found the alcohol quite noticeable and distracting. This is a bit surprising as I believe bottle is labeled at 13.7%abv. Very good QPR at auction price.

November 25, 2021 - BobMilton nailed the notes but I had it a point lower if scoring. Bought on auction and wish I had bought more. Floral nose with a nice finish. Paired extremely well with spices. My only bottle and really glad I got to try it. Highly recommend to drink them soon if you have them to taste at or near peak. Great QPR on this and a great expression of the varietal.

July 1, 2019 - Really nice Viognier. Good floral notes on the nose, a touch off-dry on the palate.
