First time blind tasting in quite a while and I have to say that I actually nailed this wine - I suppose meaning that it really does speak true to the viognier grape from California in most settings - over the top aromatics of ripe golden apples, white flowers & tastes of the same along with more tropical fruits & dessert like quality - vanilla pudding? Def a touch of residual sugar! I remember loving this wine when I first started learning, not so much now, but it still holds some strange place in my heart!

It is good, but it is flat on the back-end. Not memorable.
