Nice refreshing Viognier. Nose showed oak, stone fruits and lots of pineapple. Nice floral notes and some honeysuckle as well. Palate showed same stone fruits and crisp pineapple. This is a really nice, unique Viognier that showed a little spice on the finish. Great QPR. I'm not a huge white wine drinker but I will definitely seek this wine out in the future.

nose: very nice nose filled with apricots, pears, bits of spices, and white floral tones. Decent depth and more on the floral side of viognier that I enjoy
taste: a bit lacking on the palate with low acidity and tones of apricots, pears, white florals and hints of oils. Good feel, but slightly hollow on the mid palate
overall: a tasty viognier. Good aromatics, but lacks a bit on the palate. Nice and correct, but nothing that is earth shattering or attention grabbing

I've had much better Viogniers, and particularly from this producer in other vints. The nose is typical with tropical fruits, slightly floral, honeysuckle. The palate is full of coriander and white pepper spices. Moderately rich, but with the lack of acid, I wish it went one way or the other.

Pale yellow color with light green lights; floral, orange blossom and Tahitian vanilla nose; light citrus, floral, orange blossom, lightly oily textured palate, a little hot; short-medium finish

Had with quesadillas. In an awesome place right now!! Reminds me of the 2000 that turned me into a Miner devotee. Inviting nose followed on the palate by pear, apricot, flowers.. all competing for attention. Completely dry but rich and delicious from first glass to last.

Light gold color and a floral aspect to the nose on opening that led to a stone fruit and ripe melon texture with time. Good balance and fruit grip that tended to have a slight acidic edge with time on the finish. Still good without food, and even better with...

I suspect I might not be a viognier guy - seemed kind of thin and herbal to me.

Nice wine but just nice -- nothing special. Soft melon and dried apricot taste but very soft and subtle.

Golden color. Tasted over 2 days. Good fruit with apple, lychee. Mouthfeel oily. The wine was otherwise alcoholic and flabby.

Not as much nose as I'd expected but very nice flowery palate. Would certainly get more.

Nice, expected floral bouquet one would expect from a viognier. A tad high in acidity per my opinion. Nice summer drinking wine

Fratello's Offline (Laguna Niguel, CA): Plush and opulent with notes of candied peaches. A bit over the top for me. 86-87 points.

Excellent. Peaches and pears on the nose and palate. Crisp, with just a hint of sweetness.
