The 2009 Viognier is one of the more generous whites in this lineup. White peaches, mint and vanilla emerge from this rich white. An element of slight heaviness is the only thing that keeps the score from going higher. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015. This line up from Fess Parker is impressive. A number of the higher-end wines are delicious, but I was most struck by the quality of several of the estate’s entry-level offerings. These are some of the very finest values in California.Tel.

Blended with its Rhone cousins, Marsanne and Grenache Blanc, this is a very rich, soft white wine. It’s flamboyant in orange, apricot, peach, buttered toast and vanilla custard flavors that finish sweet. Could be drier and better structured.——S.H.(12/1/2011)—— 86

The 2008 Viognier Santa Barbara is an inexpensive, tasty introduction to what Santa Barbara Viognier is all about. Abundant notes of tropical fruits, apricots, and white peaches emerge from this richly exuberant, fruity, round, generous, crowd-pleasing white wine. Consume it over the next year. It was with considerable regret that I learned of the passing of Fess Parker this year. I knew him well, and have extraordinarily fond memories of the many discussions we had – always totally unrelated to wine. Fess was a hero for just about everyone of my generation. His starring role in Walt Disney’s Legend of Davy Crockett, and later as Daniel Boone rocketed him to superstardom in the 1950s and 1960s. But Hollywood was not Fess’s true calling, and he eventually gave that career up to become a visionary hotel developer and wine producer. Literally bigger than life, he was also extraordinarily humble (no doubt due to his Texas upbringing). Moreover, the true measure of anyone was met and exceeded by Fess, who made the world around him a better place. The United States has lost a great patriot and his family a beloved husband and father. My heartfelt condolences to them. The quality of the Fess Parker wines, made by his son, Eli, and his winemaking team, has always been very good, and the wines have long offered considerable value – a goal of Fess’s from the beginning.Tel.
