Stephen Brook: Straw. Broad, spicy apple-and-apricot nose, withatouch of oak. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, with good acidity to balance the ripe fruit. There is some tropical fruit on the palate, though not especially ripe tropical fruit. But it’s vigorous and stylish and does have some typicity. The oak gives a slight phenolic character to the finish, but overall this is a wine with character. Quite good length, with just a hint of dilution. 15

Alex Hunt: Appealing if slightly simple, estery peach aromas here. This has a fluid, cool-climate feel (not unlike an Alto Adige wine) with pronounced citrus flavors. Although not a classic Viognier structure, it hangs together perfectly well: distinctive and coherent on its own terms. 14.5

Andrew Jefford: As we move to this first Ontario wine in our lineup, the (subtropical) lemon-yellow note in the color disappears; this is more of a gray-green-gold. Aromatically, I’d be guessing Pinot Gris rather than Viognier; it’s rich, but more fruit-pastry than flowers, stone fruit, and almonds. But a very attractive aromatic profile nonetheless. On the palate, suddenly acidity leaps forward as a structuring element: We have evidently moved to a cooler place. For my palate, this has slightly lost the distinctively buxom charm of the variety, though it’s a well-made white wine. 12.5
