Ripe and aromatic with stone fruit and even a bit of lychee. Full bodied with medium - acidity. Blind tasters called New World Gewurtz, Vermentino, and Viognier.

First time blind tasting in quite a while and I have to say that I actually nailed this wine - I suppose meaning that it really does speak true to the viognier grape from California in most settings - over the top aromatics of ripe golden apples, white flowers & tastes of the same along with more tropical fruits & dessert like quality - vanilla pudding? Def a touch of residual sugar! I remember loving this wine when I first started learning, not so much now, but it still holds some strange place in my heart!

This viognier thinks it’s a Chardonnay. Nevertheless, eminently drinkable.

Definitely hits on all the classic notes of peaches, white flowers, honey, and bananas. The mid palate imp with air.
