This is sharply perfumed, with an edgy, tight consistency that seems to emphasize both the floral and the bitter rind aspects of the grape. Viognier can fall off a cliff rapidly, and this latest vintage, though complex and complicated, has a hot intensity that pulls in the bitterness and loses the citrus. If that’s the style you like, this is a fine, concentrated and intense rendition.——P.G.(12/31/2007)—— 88

Another nicely made Viognier for this up-and-coming winery, the third in a row. Vivid acids define lemon drop fruit flavors. It’s a clean, juicy style, with lip-smacking tartness and excellent focus in the midpalate. The finish is long and concentrated, with immaculately pure tasting fruit, and no alcoholic heat or excessive bitterness.——P.G.(8/1/2006)—— 90

Very nicely made, as was the initial vintage (2003). Sweet, lingering fruit salad flavors, emphasizing candied lemon and candied lime.——P.G.(12/15/2005)—— 89
