Quite ripe and fleshy. Oak is apparent. Could use more freshness. Liked it, but it wasn't love.

Rich and decadent. Intense peach, stone, white flower aromas & flavors. Reference-point Viognier. 14% alcohol but is balanced. Not an everyday drinking style, but who cares? Yummy

There's a reason Viognier is grown here.

Late add from a few weeks ago- courtesy of @Dan Blackwell. One of the best and most consistent Viognier out there IMHO.

Sweeter than Sancerre, more like Riesling, less sweet than sauternes

Not as rich as the 2014, but more defined. Lovely tropical nose, white flowers and slight apricot. On palate, focused acidity in balance with the fruit; I like this wine quite a bit. Slightly different in style from 2014, but equally good.
