Beautiful golden color. Nose is big with peach, white pepper, talc, and a bit of blossom. Palate is balanced with sweet stone fruit, a bit of butterscotch, bright acidity that balances against the fruit nicely, and a slightly spicy texture. Long finish on this excellent wine.

Full-bodied wine, full of tropical fruit flavors and quite smooth.

This is a big and rich style of Viognier that is reaching the end of its useful life. In fairness, I haven't stored this wine in gear conditions... Color is deep gold showing signs of oxidation.nose is floral with apricot. The wine is full bodied with fading candied fruit and sweet vanilla. Finish is medium to short. This wine is just good enough now to go half in the pot and half in the weekday evening glass with dinner. It's too bad I didn't drink this wine two years ago.

Unfortunately, this is a wine that has been really fantastic in the past. This one is, sadly, past its prime. Mostly went into the pot...
