Fess Parker continues to produce two very fine Viogniers. The more commercial, easy to understand, and best value is the 2005 Viognier Santa Barbara. Revealing abundant peach and apricot fruit, medium body, and a heady, succulent finish, it will provide immense pleasure over the next year. Tel. (805) 688-1545

This is a round, buxom Viognier, flashy and obvious, with upfront aromas of flowers, honey and spice backed by fruit-forward flavors of apricot and melon. Shows a touch of warmth on the finish.——W.E.(7/1/2007)—— 87
