Just fabulous, not reflective of a specific 'terroir', or even a specific viticultural area but this grape just explodes with flavour in Cali and my wife (a huge V fan) smiled from ear-to-ear when she put her nose to the glass, just good stuff at a crazy low price, must buy more - Deep gold, quite viscous with a nose of perfumed flowers, peach, pear and creamsicle, huge with a bit of heat, but manageable, well made, dry, with a creamy smoothness on the palate and nice length, excellent (90 Points).

Very good, especially for this price point. Opened a bit sharp at first but soon the lovely pineapple and tropical flavours shone through. Went well with my medium spicy Turkish. Finish a touch bitter but all in all good complexity. Lovely bouquet and for this price (£10/$15) excellent value.

Very nice, needed to breathe 30 minutes or more, but good character for a viognier. Made us very reflective and thoughtful, scheming and dreaming.

What Tarrant said! Nice, medium weight, aromatic wine that is a nice change from SB...

Very drinkable viognier without the harsh finish I remember on the 2006. Peach and citrus wirh some mineral.
