Both crisp and fulfilling, delivering a nice dollop of white and yellow fruit wrapped up in a grippy, tangy housing that presents medium speed and weight. Finishes a little round (not sure of the…
Previous notes from last month still apply. Some air helped to round-out the texture and provide additional depth of flavor. By hour two it was delivering an especially gorgeous mix of creamy, ripe…
Pear, honeydew, white peach, and some yellow citrus. Smooth and round (especially for the varietal), with a silky mouthfeel and delicate grip. Seemingly lower in its display of acid and frame, but…
Medium-to-light all the way around. Light yellow citrus and unripe pear notes dominate. I wasn't mad at it, but it wasn't necessarily a conversation I was excited to continue once my glass was empty.…
Barely a Viognier, with little-to-no characteristics of the actual varietal. At best, this came across like a weak, overly lithe and watery Chardonnay, with barely any distinguishable flavors beyond…
A decent summer sipper (well, a decent Fall sipper at this point I suppose). Crisp and light, with signature yellow and white stone fruit and pumice/stone flavors on the attack. Best served at…
Round and soft, especially for a Viognier-based white. It completely lacked the acidic citrus, grass, and/or steely mineral cut desired from this varietal to make it more palatable and interesting.…
Same as my notes six months ago. This was not served at the pickup, but instead at my house after having all of his wonderful Caberenet-blends. I wanted to close out the day with a final Pott wine of…
Wonderful example of the varietal, with a beautiful texture and silky mouthfeel that is often missed in some overtly mineral and alkaline-driven Viogniers. Purity of fruit is evident, as is the…
Pleasant notes of lemongrass, light citrus oil, and hints of dry hay, stone, and vanilla. An easy drinker, but not especially complex or popping with any discernible personality.
A very well balanced Viognier, with typical notes of white peach, green apple, citrus flowers, lemon, and a hint of wet stone. On the lighter side of medium-bodied, but held its frame nicely…
