A rich Amador County estate-grown Viognier with a touch of diesel on the nose balanced out by honey and peach, this wine spent time barrel fermenting in French and American oak and would go well seafood or, as the winery suggests, pepper steak. ——V.B.(6/1/2011)—— 86

Slightly sweet, with a honeyed edge to the rich pear, apple, peach and tropical fruit flavors. Just-in-time acidity fortunately provides balance.——S.H.(5/1/2010)—— 84
