Light golden in color.
Strong nose of citrus, oak, vanilla, spices, yellow apples, butterscotch, melons and black pepper.
Full bodied and buttery with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with lemons, limes, apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices, wood, vanilla, light vegetables and peppercorn.
Long spicy finish with tangy lemon pepper.
This is a very tasty white blend from Napa Valley. Spicy and tangy, and a good quality wine. I really enjoyed the complexity, especially on the nose.
Right out of the bottle, it is very overwhelming, but give it 30 minutes of decanting, and it comes together with nice complexity and mouthfeel. As it opens, the oak really subsided, although it's definitely oaky.
This 3 year old is drinking nicely now and will be good in the next few years. Would be interesting to see how it evolves.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a Spanish Manchego cheese, and had it by the pool.
14.4% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

A lovely, dry white. Reminds me of the Sonoma sav blancs that we loved on our trip. From wine and cheese gallery. — 5 years ago

Lovely texture; nice interplay between the acid of the Chardonnay and the body the Viognier gives. — 6 months ago
