Monte De Oro
Deportola Vineyard Viognier
Temecula Valley, South Coast, California, USA
Better and more complex than prior years. Amber color. Floral notes. Juicy acidity and somewhat dry. Grapefruit and mineral dominant on opening but after 30 min balanced with pear, honeydew, grapefruit, and slightly Chardonnay-like buttery oak softness.

WOW! Love Temecula viogniers, but this is outstanding. A light citrus start followed by a rich oaky finish. Even better than I remembered.
