Viognier, harvested as it’s barely ripe and still pear-like. Excellent acidity and zip...features sorely lacking in many tired, hot and treacly southern Rhône bottlings based on this fickle grape. Ridiculous quality for the price.

As a non-viognier lover, I was impressed. Smooth finish. Great complexity.

Great with chicken pot pie. Rich, but a nice minerality.

Apricot and flowers. Rich and lingering. Perfect with a tarragon chicken.

A little yellow in color, possibly Oaked. Tropical fruit on the nose, minerals, floral, honey. Doesn't taste hot, but you can feel this wine quickly. Medium plus mouth feel for a white, has a nice funky floral flavor, guava, pineapple, butterscotch, followed by a long finish of sweet honey combined with citrus. Also reminds me of the candy called gushers!

Whew! Big 15%+. Eye popping. Lush, strong, fruit salad. Banging acidity with hidden ABV, besides the palate coating texture.
