Well made. Stainless steel ferment. Notes of acacia honey, unripe yellow peach, some herbal eucalyptus, and mineral. Flavors are matched, full of verve. Drinking really well right now, needed a few years to mature and it's evident that it has. Drink now through the next 2-4yrs.

Loved it with seafood (bacon wrapped scallops), succotash and brown rice and quinoa, finished off with triple cream bloomy rind cheese, Tulip Tree Creamery, Indy and charcoal squares from Bath England.

Consistent with prior notes, tropical in flavor with very nice mouthfeel and delivery on the palate. Good acidity balances the lovely fruit notes perfectly. Enjoyable from beginning to end. Perfect summer sipper although it tasted damn good on this Fall evening!

A perfect wine for an Indian Summer day in the Midwest. Beautiful aromatics and wonderful fruit- fresh and invigorating and certainly easy to drink and enjoy. Was a perfect pairing for smoked chicken wings and grilled thick cut pork chops as it epitomizes what I would envision as the ultimate porch or patio wine. Exudes tropical notes and nice acidity with an air of elegance. Far from an entry level contender.

Continues to please and delight. Tropical notes with a beautiful entry on the palate. Crisp and refreshing and perfect for a late summer day. Good acidity but nice seamless mouthfeel and impressive fruit. No rough edges here.

Lovely pineapple, floral and tropical notes. Fresh and lively. About the perfect summer sipper. It does have structure and good acidity, but is ultimately so approachable and inviting. Pure fruit and enticing.

Sweet and crisp with a visible effervescence. Honey, green apple, canned pears, peach compote, and sea water. A moderate amount of acidity rings on the finish.

Three Wines from Penner-Ash: Medium straw color with a slight spritz. So much floral explosion on the nose: honeysuckle, orange blossom, dandelion, along with honey, peach nectar, green pear and guava. Full-bodied and plump but not heavy due to the moderating acidity. Pulses with lime, guava and white peach, lots of floral perfume and orange blossom along with honeycomb, waxy notes, and a lingering sense of minerals and saline. Big but vibrant for Viognier, a very pretty interpretation. All stainless steel, sourced from vineyards in the Rogue and Columbia Valleys.

Sunfish Cellars Burgundy & Oregon Tasting (Sunfish Cellars/I Nonni Minneapolis, MN): Floral, orange peel and minerals. A nice wine but very pricy.

Similar to prior notes. Some honey dew melon with nice acidity. Nice on the palate with pleasant flavors and bright fruit.

Lychee, rose petals, some citrus to close. Decent but not exciting.
