This is finally starting to come around. Still needs at least an hour open. Very tart on the nose with crisp white fruits. Lush fruits, low acid but still tart (but that is expected with viognier), nice mouthfeel. This should continue to get better if you like white rhones.

Can't understand the high scores from others based on this bottle. Fleshy, low acid, with some residual sugar which flattered the floral notes but made the wine a bit of a slug on the palate. The California chardonnay that was the other wine in its flight tasted like Chablis by comparison--and that's some trick.

Excellent white. Hints of hibiscus, lemon, honeydew, touch of wet stone, and a sharp, crispness that is so wonderful on those warm days. Another great wine from Sean...

Nose beautiful of flowers, peach, fresh pear. Palate matches with bright body, lasting finish, acidity medium which is pretty decent for Viognier. More "white" fruits, fresh stone fruit maybe apricot. Well made stuff.

70/15/15 Viognier/Rousanne/Marsanne. Medium intensity nose of white flowers, lime peel, kiwi. Palate shows tasty profile of lemon zest, sweet pineapple, honeydew, straw, some minerality in there. Acidity medium to medium plus. Nice boutique wine.

- Light gold color - Give it a moment when opened. Tart acidity drops off quickly and lets the full, softer mouthfeel develop. A very nice, full bodied white.

Soft spoken aromas and scents of orchid fruits, a touch of match stick, low acid, but otherwise very enjoyable. Nice wine, but a bit over priced at $26.

Popped and poured immediately after delivery. Beautiful aromas (citrus, apricot, etc) on the nose. Fairly viscous on the palate but with good balance and nice shot of acidity. Well be interesting to see how this develops over the next year or so.

Light yellow, almost clear color. Aromas of lemon, green apple and honey. Tastes start with green apple moves in to honey with a medium to full body and then ends with a citrus/lemon note on the finish (10+ seconds).

See my other notes, very consistent. Sean just makes some of the best Rhone style wines in Walla Walla and the price is right.

Consistent with my last note. This hasn't budged much in a year.

Drank at the end of an evening, some left in the glass. Pleasantly surprised, pears abound after 20 hours in glass. Love a good winemaker.

Light yellow color.
Nose of citrus, grass, melon.
Full mouth feel.
Slight effervescence with a taste of citrus, mineral, vanilla, grass, saline. Slightly bitter ending in a pleasant way.
