A little sugary, but otherwise you’ll find a powerhouse of ripe tropical fruit, peach, honeysuckle and vanilla spice flavors in this smooth, clean wine.——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 83

Planted as a bit of a fluke—the only vines available to plant the last 40 acres were Viognier—but the results have been just fine. The wine is a bit floral and peppery, like nasturtium blossoms, rounded out with ample pear and peach fruit. Low acidity and a hint of sweetness mark the finish.——W.E.(8/1/2006)—— 86
