An impressive representation of Viognier. Exotic nose of pineapple and citrus fruits is joined on the palate. While lacking acidity, the mid-palate is focused and precise. Displays great texture and minerality. We aligned on the rating.

Lovely varietal character, great texture, low-ish but sufficient acidity. This is a gorgeous Viognier showing roses, raspberries, pine apple, Asian spice and yellow flowers.
Maybe a tad short in the finish.

What a great and consistent white wine deal. Bitter melon, banana purée, and a nice grassy finish. Lighter bodied than previous vintages but still quite good.

Legend has it... Mr alban came into the biz after he clarified to another winemaker at said winery in a crowd that he wasn't making Roussanne (I believe the story goes) but viognier... to which im too drunk to remember the rest. But the point being that briefcase cuttings did come over. Alban did start a Viognier generation on the central coast.. and while I look for more promising examples, I say yes to this. Age definitely would help. Character of vanilla, honey, honeysuckle nose, pear, and a nice mineral and acid tension in youth.
