medium straw
Moderately aromatic nose. Oak influenced. Ripe fruit -ripe peach. Slightly overripe peach.
Medium plus body, elevated alcohol - 14%.
Ripe attack - possibly some RS.
Medium acid.
Moderate bitterness.
Slight oily viscosity.

Slight oak, semi-terpenic, medium acid and high alcohol.

California Viognier - acid is too high
Too aromatic/peachy for marsanne-roussane blend.
Too low acid to be a white burgundy.
Too bitter for Cali Chard.
Final Call: Condrieu 2012
Actually Raymond 2013 Napa Chardonnay 14.5% alcohol
