More serious, as well as with additional typicity, the 2012 Viognier Rodney's Vineyard is a gorgeous blend of 100% Viognier that was fermented and aged all in barrel. Classic in style, with apricot, ripe peach and tangerine-styled aromas and flavors, it flows onto the palate with plenty of richness and depth, yet without seeming heavy or cumbersome. It's another outstanding white from Blair and will drink well for 1-2 years.
This lineup, made by Blair Fox, is packed with outstanding wines. Most represent superb values.
