This is a delicious food white. It is light, with balanced acidity. The flavor palette is green apples and red pears. We enjoyed it with Greek food.

I agree with Giles Chambur. This is CA not France low alcohol and high acid with a fleshy melon like middle make this a fantastic Ketogenically correct alternative white. Loved it by the glass at NapaSport.

Definitely not what I was expecting- Napa white Rhone-esque. Too ripe for me

The Viognier is reined in by equal parts Rousanne and Marsanne, which provide acid, texture, and complexity. No oak in this vintage, but it does age on the lees.

Quick tasting notes from an Inglenook Wine Tasting...
Great acidity here. Sweet flower smell, and honey and pear on the tongue. Very unique & refreshing.

Really fresh and pleasing. Not far from new world Condrieu. More ripeness and heavy hand, surely.
