Estimate
Luxurious in texture and subtle and complex in flavors...creamy mouthfeel of a great Chardonnay with its own set of mild flavors hinting at honey, lemon blossoms and lanolin that build on the palate and linger nicely on the finish.
Varietal floral and orchard fruit notes open first. There's terrific energy driving this taut, vibrant Viognier from the estate. Hints of apricot, ginger, peach, spice and mint linger.
Floral and peppery on the nose, it also boasts scents of apricot and pear in a nicely balanced expression of varietal character. Medium to full-bodied, it's not a huge, viscous example of Viognier but one that balances ripeness and acidity on a fine edge, leaving behind lingering citrus notes on the finish.
On the nose, it shows aromas of chalk, peach and orange blossom but they're somewhat subdued in intensity. The palate is round with some pithiness to it. Enough acid to keep it fresh and zesty, nothing overripe but with a richer mouthfeel. Lingering blossom character on the finish.
