From the brother of South Coast Winery's winemaker, this is one of the best Viognier's I have experienced.

Andrea, sweet start, easy on the palette with a spicy finish.
Don, pleasing nose, hints of vanilla. Agree on spicy finish, good with we'll seasoned beef

Medium purple in color; raspberries, cherries, and dried herbs on the nose; low acidity; medium minus tannins; tastes like tart cherry jolly ranchers, raspberry sauce, and black tea with a long fruity finish. There may be a little residual sugar in this wine, but it's still very good. It's easy drinking for anyone that likes sour candies. It could use a little more acidity. Nellie doesn't like it because it's sour. I love it.

Delicious - had this producer in TX then found this in SC: deep ruby, semi-transparent, spicy dark fruit on nose, had plenty of personality, on palate it was smooth, pliable & juicy w:plenty of spicy red & black berried fruit. Clean & somewhat polished, think w/age this was in a perfect spot.

French varietals from Texas earth. Pour this baby through an aerator and the spicy finish flourishes! Soft and subtle with a spicy bite. It's delicious.
