A bit of air is needed for it to show the savory meaty quality. The juice is well balanced and not showing any heat even @ 15.6 abv — 2 months ago

2023 vintage. More fruit than mineral driven. A big spearmint note. Fresh, delicious and a great price. Apparently, the Roussanne vineyard is disease-ridden and out of commission for at least 3 years so this could be it for Alban whites for a spell. They are supposedly not buying fruit any longer. 5.9.24. — 4 months ago

Hard to beat the Estate version.
The 2021 Viognier Estate was mostly barrel fermented and matured, with the exception of a small portion of terracotta.
I’ll hold my last bottle a bit longer though. — a year ago

2002. Wow. Beautiful and elegant. Only 10% abv according to the label but I’d guess higher. Petrol, honey, Corn Pops cereal, dill, mandarin oranges, golden raisin. This is amazing. — 10 months ago
