A bit soft, sweet and one-dimensional, with flavors of pineapple and lemon sour candy cough drops, drizzled with honey. ——S.H.(10/1/2009)—— 84

A little one-dimensional, but clean and crisp in acids, with the exotic floral and spice flavors the variety is noted for. Try with Asian fare.——S.H.(12/1/2006)—— 84

An exotic style that shows Viognier’s citrus and tropical fruit character but also veers into banana and smoked meat. It’s dry and rich, with powerful fruit and spice flavors, and a long, strong finish. Would score higher but seems a bit unfocused.——S.H.(10/1/1999)—— 87
