Made in a dry, acidic style, this Viognier steers clear of the variety’s flamboyant personality, offering controlled citrus, mineral, apricot and spice flavors. It’s clean and vibrant. Try as an interesting alternative to Sauvignon Blanc.——S.H.(7/1/2011)—— 87

Too ripe and simple in jammy pineapples, tangerines and apricots to stimulate interest, and although it’s dry, the acidity tastes unnatural. Shows the difficulties of crafting a fine white wine in Paso Robles. ——S.H.(6/1/2010)—— 85
