Some balanced acidity but lacking a little "bright bump," yet also well-developed minerality - a nice one...a bit oily & unctuous as it develops...BUT don't wait long...

The best California Viogniers I've had are this one and the Failla from Edna Valley. Perfumed, and good acidity refreshes. Not cloying or flat at all.

Crisp, fresh and light. Hints of Meyer Lemon flowers with nice clean finish. Excellent when paired with San Francisco's Bay mussels and pasta.

Digging this. Great balance and structure. Lychee meets citrus.
