Barrel fermented in neutral oak and aged for five months, the 2018 Viognier Tepusquet Vineyard has a classic nose of honeysuckle, white peach and apricot, elderflower touches, musk melon, white pepper and a strong vein of crushed rock minerality. Medium-bodied, it offers restrained, mineral-driven fruits with very juicy acidity and a long, perfumed finish. An understated, well-balanced Viognier. 1,000 cases produced.

A simple, uncomplicated bottling, the 2016 Viognier Tepusquet Vineyard reveals notes of musky peach, lychee and toasted nuts. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a viscous attack, decent freshness for the near term and a short finish.

A lovely Viognier that shows the variety’s exotic richness while maintaining dryness and elegance despite high alcohol. The tropical fruit, wildflower, spice and honey flavors are deliciously balanced with crisp acidity.——S.H.(12/31/2008)—— 90
