  I had a couple bottles in the cellar and I really loved it a couple years ago. Held on to one until this summer (2020). Definitely past its peak. Diesel notes and lots of bitterness. Sadness.

  Originally tasted at winery in 5/2017 was a 92 at that time.
  This reminds me that Viognier should be drunk young.
  Nose - The aromatic perfume character of the wine has dissipated, still there but very subtle.
  Palate - The previous big fruit has begun to fade away, showed up a bit after the wine began to warm up in glass. Conclusion I waited too long to drink.

  Condreiu in style. Sadly this wine is off balance with acid and alcohol winning. Very subtle non descript citrus fruit. 2nd bottle tasted within the last 3 months with the same results. A reminder that Viognier needs to be consumed young. Glass cork.

  Light, pale straw color; hot nose with peach and straw; similar flavor profile with light to med. acidity levels. I believe this to be varietally correct but I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm not a fan of White Rhone varietals.
  
  Tasted at Bubbles bar at O'hare airport. For a small joint in an airport, they have quite the impressive wine list. Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc by the glass? That's what I'll get next time I'm there.

  Tasted at the winery. This wine is a mellow light to medium yellow. The nose is very floral and fruity. On the palate it is creamy and delicious with stone fruit, honey and mandarin orange on the finish. I thought this was a quite delicious and nice white wine alternative especially with food. To be fair I generally am a big fan of well made viognier.
