2014 Vintage. Boxes unpacked, first dinner cooked in our new home. With a smile of satisfaction we glance at each other and know this is an Idle Moment we'll always remember.

I was just complaining that too many CA viogniers are trying to be chardonnays. This ain't all that but still a little too oaked for me. Aromas are subtle with traces of pear and spice. The full body is nice but the flavor lacks depth. I'd like more tropical fruit and flower and less wood. Still, not bad if I put my expectations aside.

Soft shell crabs, ripe tomatoes, with a vinegary slaw and this excellent wine.
