This blend of Viognier, Roussanne, Chardonnay and Marsanne starts with strong scents of toast, then hits the mouth with concentrated orange peel, orange candy and other tropical candy flavors. The mouthfeel is substantial, with evident tannins, and a soft, juicy finish. Definitely a drink-now wine, with some burn in the finish. ——P.G.(3/1/2010)—— 88

Very spicy, with an intense bouquet of toast, seed and pungent herb. Rich and fruity in the mouth, it’s a complex mix of melon, passion fruit, papaya, guava and sweet orange. The fruit salad rolls back into oaky, buttery flavors for a full-throttle finish. Another 15.5% effort from Airfield, but here the fruit can stand up to the barrels.——P.G.(8/1/2009)—— 90
