Pale gold with a bright pronounced aroma of white flowers, peach and citrus. Medium acidity and a lively spiciness in the background. Medium body, great texture and long finish

Lovely Viognier. Pungent, floral, lifted and graceful. Lingering mineral and saline character. Tremendous freshness.

Limpid yellow. Incisive aromas of fresh citrus and orchard fruits, ginger and violet are joined by hints of chalky minerals, fennel and white pepper. Juicy and sharply focused on the palate, offering fresh pear and Meyer lemon flavors that show impressive clarity and minerally drive. The citrus fruit and floral notes come back strong on the vibrant finish, which hangs on with excellent focus and tenacity. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2018)

Brilliant, Medium gold color work beeswax, peach, mineral, Apple and citrus. All a bit tight on the palate but showing terrific length. Lovely and surprisingly versatile wine

Rich and aromatic and with lots of acidity for a viognier, notes of white flowers and fresh peaches
