Signature Napa Valley Viognier
Napa Valley, California, USA
Never would guess it's a Viognier. Absent of floral notes. All the oak aging characteristics would tell me it’s a Chard.

Starts off with nice tropical fruit but the oak comes in and it's just too overwhelming. Not sure if this will get better with time.

A very classy expression of Viognier that maintains the acid.

Sep 20th, 2015Awesome! 14.8 ABV but totally delicious despite its heat. Unctuous full palate with great aromatics

2013 killer Domestic Viognier
Some RS but enough acidity to balance it out, juicy stone fruit, white flowers, and apples

Revisiting this one. We are picking up apricot and some slate-like minerals on the nose. Great tastes of peaches, apricot and red apple with a fantastic mouthfeel. Pairing very well with my blackened snapper and Lisa's Chicken Spinach salad. Very nice wine.

Beautiful straw yellow in the glass. Nose is filled with hints of apricot and citrus. Refreshing tastes of peach, apricot and spice that lingers nicely on the tongue. Acidity is perfectly balanced and makes this one of the best Viognier's I have ever tasted.
