One of the best Vogniers I've ever had. Didn't think CA could beat Virginia's Vogniers; this one is in the running.

YES YES YES! Simply the best Viognier out there. Unreal depth & character. Big, bold & rounded whilst still maintaining freshness and focus. Ripe peach & apricot, with zesty acidity & mineral backbone. Salute to you Cline!

Lovely wine. Nice acidity, fruit forward without being sweet.

This wine is very nice. The best Viognier I've had from a retailer.

Viognier isn't an oft planted grape for a reason, there aren't a lot of places that can do it well.

Nose has exotic fruits of pineapple, apricot, peach, & some mango & citrus with floral notes of orange blossom. Mouth is apricot & pink grapefruit rind with some slight prepped lingering at the finish. IMO it seems a little out of balance with alcohol at 14.0%
