Pale yellow/straw visually. Viognier on the nose with ripe peach/stone fruit. Some floral notes but not overt. Med acid and full body. But all Chardonnay on the palate, as it warmed closest to room temp the Viognier started to come out and some ripe peach and texture was present. This is a great wine for the price and although not traditional at all works. This would be great with Crab Legs or Lobster! I think in a few years this will integrate better and be more cohesive but if drinking now open and let aerate or decant for an hour or so.

Viognier, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc blend from 40+ year dry-farmed fruit. More forward and dramatic than other Kinero's I've tasted. Both Viognier and Chenin come through on the crisp and vibrant nose. Flavor nothing short of spectacular. Pure and clean, flavors as delineated as they are intense. Huge acids still play behind the huge fruit. Lingering finish. One of the most striking whites under $100 that I can remember.

Impressive white blend. Think lemon peel and stone fruit flavors and a steely texture.
