Shows Viognier’s exotic side in the tropical mango and papaya fruit flavors, while oak barrels bring in smoky caramel notes. With refeshing acidity, it’s an appealing wine. Sharp acidity gives it a cutting feel. ——S.H.(12/1/2011)—— 86

The grapes come from the northern part of the valley, the warmest spot, but the first thing you notice is the acidity. It’s citrusy-juicy, and makes those flowery citrus and apple flavors taste almost like minerally Pinot Grigio. It’s an elegant Viognier, crafted for food. ——S.H.(12/31/2006)—— 87

Soft, luscious and creamy smooth, with a caressing texture that conveys exotic flavors of tropical fruits, wildflowers, butter, sweet tree nut, vanilla and orange zest. This dry wine has complexity and versatility at the table. ——S.H.(8/1/2004)—— 89

Hardly a cookie-cutter wine; this one features sharp aromatics of white grapefruit and pineapple as well as some thistle. The mouthfeel is heavy, as are the flavors of orange, tangerine and banana. When all is said and done it tastes much like a Tropicana juice blend, maybe more so than it should. —M.S.——M.S.(3/1/2003)—— 85
