The 2009 Viognier Stillwater Creek Vineyard was also fermented and aged in neutral French oak. Slightly reticent aromas of peach, apricot, earthy minerals, and baking spices inform the nose of a dry, spicy, medium-bodied, tasty wine that will provide enjoyment over the next 2-3 years. Novelty Hill and Stillwater Creek Vineyard are owned by Tom Alberg. The vineyard, located on the Royal Slope of the Frenchman Hills (way off the beaten path), was planted in 2000 and has acquired a reputation for the high quality of its fruit.Tel.

Fragrant and varietal, with sharp-edged scents and flavors. Lemon polish, pine needle and citrus rind give it a compelling pungency. It broadens out in the midpalate, with stone fruit flavors piling on.——P.G.(11/1/2011)—— 90
