Best Viognier I’ve ever had. Clear golden color (not sure why Jeb Dunnuck said unfiltered/cloudy, my glass is perfectly clear). Classic apricot nose plus floral tones. Flavors of white apricot with some mineral and slight oak. Great balance. You can tell this is a “Rocks” viognier. 30 second plus finish. I love this wine, but last bottle.

So freaking good. Smoky, showing more overt oak. Rich almost creamy texture. So Viognier. Apricot, mineral, savory, oily, sharp, peppery. Not at all sweet. Really impressive wine.

CT Offsite: Day 1 Tasting: Seems quite smoky and oaky on the nose. The palate is lovely, glyceral, spicy, faintly bitter stonefruit, hint of kerosene, nice acidity for such a big wine.

Exceptionally floral, classic Viognier aromatics. Palate is weighty with a distinctly bitter stonefruit personality. Not a shy Viognier. Salty, mineral, long finish.

Full of florals and ripe stone fruits on the nose as expected with Viognier. The palate is luscious, yet refreshing in its delivery. Medium acidity and full bodied with a long finish of florals and mineral, not typical of the grape. The oak is subtle so that the florals and fruits shine. Alcohol is well balanced, not high like some Viognier that I've had. Paired this with creamy tarragon chicken breast, but honestly, this wine should be enjoyed on its own.

White stone fruit, floral, salty, smoky and slightly spicy. 30 second plus creamy finish. This is a very complex wine. It was fantastic before dinner and pared very well with peanut chicken. Positively delicious. I can’t get enough!

My first trip to Walla Walla; 5/12/2022-5/14/2022 (Walla Walla, Washington): Classic aromatics, fireworks, 100% new French oak, amazing that the wine easily handles the oak, really lovely.

Plenty of stone fruit with hints of mineral it’s. In the mouth, Meyer Lemn with some creaminess. Delightful finish. Very nice.
