Wow! This is a great viognier, although my husband said “it doesn’t knock my socks off”. Has a slightly sweeter finish than I like, might have been a year with sudden cold snap? — 5 years ago

“Exactly what I want from a white wine...a mild buzz”. So speaketh the husband. This was completely drinkable, opened nicely with some air, and had a nice, viscosity to its mouthfeel. — 6 years ago

Apparently I like Trousseau. I only heard of it recently, but this is the second iteration of the style that I have enjoyed. Dry and French; meaning terroir in the nose, light mouthfeel, warm alcohol and tongue parching finish. — 6 years ago

Needs just the slightest bit of air to open up, but after that, a very delicious and drinkable Pinot with tons of fruit and a smooth finish. — 6 years ago

As a PacNorWestrn’r, always give a home team a shot. But like a Mariners fair weather fan, I can not sustain enthusiasm for this wine. “Dreck” comes to mind. — 6 years ago

Viscous pour put me in the mind of viognier, nose of summer fruit at the seaside. The acid hits immediately, sort of fizzing on the tongue. I wish I’d had this wine during the dog days of summer! — 6 years ago

This white rioja was super interesting. I got a ton of coconut in this, which would be nice in the summer. — 6 years ago

I really like this, which is weird for me because I (whisper) don’t care for Beaujolais. But as a rosé, it is beyond perfect. — 6 years ago

8.4

I went through a gewürtztraminer stage early, but have mostly eschewed it due to sugars. I have to say, this is a great expression of the fruit, and while noticeably sweet, it was inoffensive. Fair amount of acid, — 6 years ago
