This Shiraz/Viognier starts with the fragrant aromas of Viognier—apricot, honey—mingled with the smoky spice of Shiraz. On the palate, smooth, integrated flavors of rich fruit, herbs and pepper are serious, but the wine has an easygoing edge. Good minerality keeps it clean. A versatile food wine.——S.K.(9/1/2009)—— 85
