Floral nose, citrus and honey on the palate, with a surprisingly long finish for such a light wine. I could drink this all day.

Petroleum, honeysuckle, yellow cake, and lavender nose. On the palate more petrol, peach nectar, honey, ruby red grapefruit, gunpowder, white pepper, with a powerful petrol after nose. I might have called this a quality german trocken Riesling in a blind test. This is a fabulous Viognier in the french style.

Not the honeysuckle bomb of previous vintages. The 2018 vintage adds petroleum, grapefruit, and mineral notes. The finish is clean with light acid. It is almost Riesling like.

Clear light straw color. Aromas of white flowers, peach, violet and mango. Citrus flavors, white nectarine and a long finish.

Slight yellow tint. Honeysuckle and lemon runs on the nose. On the palate honey, lemon and oak predominate. Clean acid finish. A lovey light white.

Lovely honeysuckle and floral nose. On the palate lemon and honey with some mineral undertones. A light but zippy acid finish builds after the last swallow. A lazy summer sipper.

Floral nose with lots of lemon on the palate. Nice acid sizzle with a citrus pucker at the finish. If you feel like a lemonade on a hot summer day, this would be a better choice.
