  Moderately aromatic nose. Oak influenced. Ripe fruit -ripe peach. Slightly overripe peach.
  Medium plus body, elevated alcohol - 14%.
  Ripe attack - possibly some RS.
  Medium acid.
  Moderate bitterness.
  Slight oily viscosity.
  
  Slight oak, semi-terpenic, medium acid and high alcohol.
  
  California Viognier - acid is too high
  Too aromatic/peachy for marsanne-roussane blend.
  Too low acid to be a white burgundy.
  Too bitter for Cali Chard.
  Final Call: Condrieu 2012
  Actually Raymond 2013 Napa Chardonnay 14.5% alcohol
