Saturday, August 29, 2015 - Wow. This is a simply delightful wine that is hard to put down on a warm summer evening. Although I typically pour a single glass of white this time of year before moving onto weightier reds, this wine warranted an extra glass. An outstanding example of Viognier, perhaps a little lighter than most, but still a great mouthfeel. The wine looks lush and viscous with a brilliant, clear light yellow color. The bouquet hints of citrus zest and green apple, but is not overly expressive. The palate has more Chardonnay citrus profile notes versus the typical stone fruit that you might expect from Viognier, but in a winning style. Wonderfully integrated flavors of almond, Meyer lemon icebox pie and honey. It is a dry white wine tinged with a pleasant and light hint of sweetness. Low acidity allows the clean fruit flavors to have a more distinct influence. An exceptionally smooth, lingering and delicious finish. So easy to drink -- if a wine could be compared to comfort food, this is it.
