Very enticing nose - had the typical Viognier fruit but mixed with brine, minerals, and maybe even a touch of petrol. Unfortunately, what intrigue the nose brought was completely let down when I drank. Flabby and falls flat on the palate. The finish was downright bitter and did not invite subsequent visits to the glass. A let-down.

Blind Comparison Tasting (Folin Cellars Carlton Tasting Room): Piquant and smoky on the nose with honey and smoked kiwi flavors. Drying on the hind palate, this would be best paired with grilled seafood.
