  February 19, 2022 - High acid wine with the barest hints of tropical fruit. Great for someone looking for a Sauv Blanc, but not what I'm looking for in a Viognier.

  May 1, 2021 - Medium straw.
  Opens a little closed. Flinty reduction. Hint of apricot and orange blossom. Fresh nose, chalky whetstone.
  Palate has richness on entry. Bright fruit & texture. Seemless. Mid weight.
  A refreshing example of Viognier. Doesn’t leave you overwhelmed or weary.
  Nice wine.

  March 7, 2021 - Pale gold. On the nose, fresh fruit, ranging from green to stone fruit. I'm not getting much I'd call floral. I do get a bit of butteriness. On the palate, it's quite high acid (more so than I expected for a viognier) and very dry, with a bit of creaminess.
  
  It did pair well with a chickpea, chicken, and apricot tagine.

  November 8, 2020 - Reads a little sweet, rather than the nice acid I like.
