Enjoy this beautiful white over the next 12 months.Former actor and current real estate developer, hotel owner, and vineyard developer, Fess Parker continues to oversee a bevy of top vineyards that produce increasingly better and better wine. His son, Eli, handles the winemaking at Fess Parker Winery as well as for his own label, Epiphany.

Delivers just what consumers want in a Viognier, namely, vibrantly exotic and powerful fruity flavor. Mangoes, papayas, anything your heart desires can be found, in a rich, dry, creamy texture. White chocolate even shows up in the long, delicious finish. ——S.H.(5/1/2006)—— 90
