Well done Viognier, especially for the price point. This isn't on the website, so perhaps tasting room and select retail only. In the land of flabby California & new world Viognier, this is a worthy buy at <$15.
Color: Clear, medium yellow straw. Nose: Lively nose of white peach, and modest floral aromatics. In The Mouth: Ripe peach, sweet pear, pleasant viscosity and finish. Drink properly chilled at 54-58 degrees.

1999 Brunello Blind Tasting; 5/8/2011-5/9/2011 (Tom's House, Palo Alto): Served blind, may have gotten mixed up between the 2010 cline california viognier and 2010 cline contra costa viognier. Wine B: Grassy, anise, mint, hint of citrus. Lovely, palate full bodied, creamy. The nose is the strong suit here. This smells exactly like a NZ sauv blanc, but the full creamy palate makes that less likely. I didn't guess viognier. 89 Wine C: Fruit. citrus. Balanced, good acid, not that much flavor. Somewhat pedestrian but still good. 84

This is a nice crisp wine. Easy to drink alone or with spicy food.
