Dominated by pear and green apples. Some underlying honey notes. Did not enjoy this as much as expected, but might be due to inadequate stemware, hence no rating.

At Chez Panisse with friends--slightly chilled. This was a fabulous white, with an aroma that was rich, but flavors that were sharp and focused. I commented about a "cleaness" that may have really been describing the combination of brightness in conjuction with the silky mouth feel. Gotta get more of this!

Ripe pears jump out of the glass followed by peach and white flowers. Apricot and candied fruits are also present in the background. Medium-full bodied with elegant minerality. This bottle went very fast!!

Sous vide experiment salmon dinner w/ Eimy--showing more interestingly than last time, fresh and vibrant with nice viognier character (floral, peach, jasmine).
