Score 92/100 · Drink 2018-2023, Josh Raynolds, Feb 2017

Green-hued yellow. Fresh citrus and orchard fruits and pungent flowers on the lively, mineral-driven nose. Sappy and focused in the mouth, offering intense orange and pear nectar flavors underscored by a vein of chalky minerality. Taut and nervy on the finish, which leaves behind citrus zest and bitter peach pit notes. I like the combination of depth and energy here.

100% Viognier. Edge of lemon on the varietal character. Not that intense but correct. Drink young! A little chewy on the end. Reasonable intensity on the end. (JR)

Attractive yellow robe. The nose is toasted, grilled, comes with an air of white plum, an inner strength that resembles cooked banana. The palate gives cosy gras, its fleshy nature in sync with the vintage. The aftertaste is honeyed. There is some fine acidity inside its well sealed frame. The finishing moments are nice and lucid.
