Limpid straw-yellow. Highly perfumed, mineral-accented aromas of fresh citrus and orchard fruits and violet; a honey nuance emerges as the wine opens up. Juicy, penetrating pear and Meyer lemon flavors pick up hints of nectarine and fennel in the midpalate. The mineral note repeats on the finish, which lingers with impressive focus and persistence.

100% Viognier. Aged for 12 months in oak. Tasted blind. Excellent fruit on the nose: charismatic, showy and rich, with apricot and peach plus star fruit and pineapple. Smoky note on the finish adds complexity. Long and full length. (RH)
