Happy we got to try this guy, 8 months in oak and rich on the plate. Large and weighty, the palate shows a nice bit of fruit. Not a bad stab at Viogner from a California producer.

Nice Viognier from Russian River Valley. Paired well with fresh oysters on the half shell. Expected it to be more opulent, no complaints.

Still kicking. Baked flavors haven't completely taken over just yet, big aromatics, high alcohol.

Lemon cake, lychee, white flowers, candied banana. Very aromatic but not overly. Very crisp.

Plush like whipped lemon yogurt, with botes of nectarine and baked apple. Full bodied Viognier with medium acidity and a medium+ finish that reveals tertiary notes of nuts vanilla honey and a hint of petrol. Paris delightfully with roquefort, good aged gouda, tapenade and charcuterie.
