The 2011 Viognier Mt. Harlan covers every inch of the palate with layers of rich, sensual fruit. The Mt. Harlan Viognier is less overt in its aromas and flavors than the Central Coast Viognier. It is a wine that impresses most for its sublime texture and vibrant, focused fruit. Hints of citrus, white flowers and crushed rocks are woven into the generous, inviting finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2017. Calera is clearly not in Napa Valley, but these current and upcoming releases are deserving of serious attention, hence their inclusion here.Tel.

The 2011 Viognier (Central Coast) jumps from the glass with exotic white flowers, spices, gingerbread, lychee and mango. There is no shortage of varietal character in this bright, crystalline white. Clean, vibrant layers of minerality give the wine its inner tension and weightless, crystalline finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. Calera is clearly not in Napa Valley, but these current and upcoming releases are deserving of serious attention, hence their inclusion here. Tel. (831) 637-9170; www.calerawine.com
