Color: beautiful light golden tones, crystal clear.
Nose: Floral, but with a lot more white fruit than anticipated. Very nice, even when this young.
Palate: Probably the best Viognier I've ever had. White fruit and floral tastes abound, but the creaminess that came with the lively acidity through me off. I didn't think that they did and malolactic with this wine and I was right, but I'd forgotten the effect of extended aging on the lees can do. The creaminess adds a beautiful mouthfeel that accompanies the acidity with a wonderful balance.
