Had with Thanksgiving. This was a nicely aged Viognier. Better acidity than expected, aromas of peach, apricot and honeysuckle. Very floral with an elevated body. Viognier is not my favorite, but this drank very French and was a lovely wine. Happy to have more.

I'm not much of a Viognier drinker, but wanted to try this given Gramercy's pedigree. I enjoyed this and found it to be more "tropical" tasting than the California versions I'm used to tasting with notes of pineapple and stone fruit.
It still had a waxy/petrol-y character I'm used to with Viognier, but I thought this was in better balance than the California Viogniers I've had.

Re-up my tasting notes from this summer. It's a tad bit lighter in body than I remember but every bit as special. This has some nice acid but not enough structure to age so I suggest drinking up.

Pale yellow. Nose: bursting with pineapple and mango, then soft vanilla and white peach pit. Palate: full bodied, lush and palate coating. Surprisingly high acidity for a Viognier. This is a powerhouse of a wine with tropical fruit compote, rich honey and vanilla, and a lot of tart starfruit. Touch of nutmeg. Finish: big vanilla and tart starfruit here, with a modest lining of honey to keep it balanced. Overall this is a fantastic example of warm climate Viognier. Not quite the depth of a Condrieu, but for the price an absolute steal and one of the best examples of Viognier I've ever had.

Great nose. Not much fruit left. Lemon. Butter. Petrol. Long finish. Past prime but still enjoyable.

Very floral and ripe, varietally correct. Nice balance with decent acidity and a long ripe finish.

Lovely floral, medium bodied Viognier really hits the spot with notes of orange blossom, honeysuckle, and apricot. Great to drink on a hot summer day.

Took to a Thanksgiving lunch.
Florals on the nose.
Tropical fruit, with some minerals and little oily texture.
Went over well.

Huge floral nose. Crystal clear, light lemon color. Dry, light bodied, mineral and watermelon flavors. Fun wine to try.

Very perfumed, French in style. Medium to medium light body, fairly straightforward effort.

Walla Walla tastings: Notes of rose hips, peach, hints of mineral. Silky with an airy richness on the palate. Depth on the finish. Very nice.
