Alex Hunt: Not gushingly aromatic as some can be, and despite its youth, this Viognier favors a sort of lushly savory style over out-and-out fruit. The alcohol does poke through, though the palate is lithe and fresh enough otherwise. But without either exuberant apricots or real musky mystery, it’s rather one-note. 85

Andrew Jefford: Bright gold. Sweet and candied scents. Attractive, though less of the apricot and more mango/papaya than home on the Rhône. A clear cut above most IGP Viognier, however. Soft, full, frankly sweet-edged, but with some of the exoticism this variety name promises. The finish is a little driving and rugged; I think the ideal is a luscious meltaway. But good Viognier, certainly, and a California white that seems in harmony with its growing conditions. 87

Peter Liem: Creamy and ripe, this shows bold, waxy flavors of pear and quince, and while it feels full and extroverted, it balances its weight and alcohol well, maintaining a lively harmony throughout the fragrant finish. 90
