The 2011 Viognier Rodney’s Vineyard is slightly richer and more complete, with plenty of orange blossom, citrus oil, sappy flowers and hints of peach all emerging from the glass. Balanced and with good acidity and plenty of mid-palate depth, it’s a classy, textbook Viognier to drink over the coming couple of years. Drink now-2015.
These solid efforts are made by Blair Fox (of Blair Fox wines) and represent high quality at solid prices.
