Shows classically exotic, rich Viognier flavors ranging from ripe citrus fruits through peaches and pears to tropical papayas, wildflowers and spices. The trick is to tame this explosion with dryness and structure. Clautiere’s ’09 partially succeeds, but lacks acidity, and finishes sugary sweet, which makes it cloying. ——S.H.(12/1/2010)—— 85

Ripe, slightly sweet and acidic, with tropical fruit, wildflower, apricot, buttered popcorn, spice and smoky flavors. Giving its best now, this wine wants appetizers that are spicy, slightly sweet and crunchy.——S.H.(12/15/2009)—— 86

With all the lush, exotic tropical fruit, vanilla cream and butterscotch flavors, and a honeyed sweetness in the finish, this wine could use more acidity. The lack of it makes it a little cloying. ——S.H.(6/1/2007)—— 83
