This is one of the more interesting Viogniers around due not simply to the complex fruit, wildflower and honey spice flavors, although they’re delicious, but to the structure. There’s a bracing mouthfeel and steely minerality that bring life and zest. ——S.H.(11/1/2005)—— 91

Takes a controlled approach to a variety that is often over the top. You’ll find the usual exotic tropical fruit and ripe peach notes, but they’re trimmed with sour citrus, and the acidity helps maintain balance. Dry and elegant, this wine defines the possibilities of upscale Viognier.——S.H.(11/15/2004)—— 90

From an appellation that has long made a play as a Rhone specialist, a delicate wine, despite the opulence of its fruit. Mango, apricot, peach and cantaloupe flavors mingle, enriched with smoky vanilla and oak, but all this is controlled by firm acids, and the wine is fully dry.——S.H.(12/31/2003)—— 88
