Note: I use the suggested scale, 85 represents a very good wine. A bit sharper (and better for me) than the bottle I had a year and a half ago. Time to drink up.

2011 vintage

Note: I use the suggested scale for rating. Decent Viognier. As others have noted , a little banana and so forth. Don't see any advantage to waiting.

2011 vintage

Nice coloris, flowery notes, not too fruity, nice apricots smell and taste.

Encore un Viognier sur les fruits exotiques, les bananes, un peu mou et plat...encore une fois, celui-ci tombe dans cette catégorie pour moi. Nez simple mais très expressif, fruits jaunes, mangues, bananes et caramboles . Bouche ample et aromatique, encore les fruits exotiques, tellement pévisible comme Meursault de FDV me disait. Il y a un manque d'acidité et de vivacité. Longueur moyenne. RQP moyen.

Robe bien dorée. Nez assez exubérant et complexe tout de même, sur le sapinage frais, le thym, abricots, coquillages. Bouche assez juste un peu beurrée en fin de bouche, avec une petite trame minérale discrète et des arômes de pommes verte. Certes, pas aussi raffiné et long qu'un Condrieu, mais à la moitié du prix, on est comblé! Bel achat à réitérer.

2011 vintage

Light golden, clear. Very pleasant nose with apricot, gooseberries, butter, thyme, seashells. Soft and velvety in the mouth, butterscotch, gooseberries, long aftertaste. Maybe a bit lacking in freshness, but good minerality.

2011 vintage

Less gooseberry this time, more tropical fruit and apricot. Long finish. The last of a WTSO four-pack. At $15, wish I had bought more.

2011 vintage

Green apple, tropical undernotes, white flowers.

2011 vintage

This is a very mineral Viognier. Gooseberry, peach and crushed seashell. Decent acidity and not a lot of sweetness. Finishes fairly long.

2011 vintage

The nose has butterscotch, green apple, and apricot. A viscous texture with a light touch of acidity on the mid palate to christen the mango, lemon, and mineral finish. Acceptable for the $15 paid, but not pulling much more than simple and linear flavors. Will see how this develops over the next couple of evenings. Day 2 - The apricot and minerality are more pronounced, but the straight and simple way this unfolds holds back a better score. Day 3 …

2011 vintage

Gooseberry, pineapple, Asian spice; typical Viognier unctuousness. Long and dry. Excellent value at $15 from WTSO.

2011 vintage

Similar as before but picked up apricot flower.

2011 vintage

AMSwine has this bottle pegged for notes. Definitely better as the bottle warmed a bit, didn't need to be cold. Befitted from being open longer for sure. Pale gold hue. Lilikoi and cactus pear, tempered acidity, but with flare. Finished with pineapple and felsic mineral. B+/91 = 50/5/12/9/8/7

2011 vintage

Always a treat and very reasonably priced.

2011 vintage

Nice balance of acidity on the palate lychees and gooseberry flavors on the nose - some air time helped and I preferred the wine lightly chilled rather than cold. Looks like it may develop with more bottle time. Good value.

2011 vintage

Very solid, with tropical fruits like pineapple and mango, citrus zest, minerals. This is a rich creamy texture backed up by vibrant acidity. Finishes up tasty, picking up some banana notes. (Drink 2012-2017)
