November 6, 2022 - Okay. I love Viognier, especially from Condrieu, Vernay's products profound. Yet this Cal version, while riper, is still awesome juice, at least for me. So if this sort of thing isn't for you, then ignore my rating. My, my. While my wife is at the range stirring salmon risotto, I'm savoring and thinking, what a wonderful life this is.

March 13, 2021 - Delicious ripe apricot and peach on the nose and smooth palate with floral and mineral notes with a long finish and balanced acidity.

May 14, 2020 - Pnp’d from the cellar. Pulled this bottle from the cellar and noticed lots of tartaric acid floaters in the bottle. Poured the first glass to see what’s noticeable in the glass. Huge aromatics of tropical fruit but difficult to zero in on one. I get citrus, pineapple, orange zest, lemon and a hairspray pith with a touch of caramel! Still a wonderful wine, sip by sip. Forget the flavors, it’s all about the aromatics! EG #ArchitecturalArtistry #WineArchitect
