The 2010 The Last Ditch Viognier is scented of warm apricots, poached pears and honeydew melon with a spicy undercurrent. Dry and medium-bodied, it offers mouth-filling peachy flavors, lively acid and a long finish. Drinking now, it should remain fresh through 2013.

A different take on Viognier, with modest melon and pear notes and none of the variety’s flamboyant aromatics or spice. It’s crisp and lean instead of lush or opulent.——J.C.(5/1/2011)—— 83

The 2008 The Last Ditch Viognier was aged in seasoned French and American oak for 6 months. It offers appealing aromas of mineral, peach, and apricot and lead to a creamy-textured, concentrated, intense Viognier with a lengthy finish. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. The d’Arenberg portfolio is loaded with values. The winery works with over 140 growers to fashion their superb blends. For the 2008 vintage, the entry-level The Stump Jump series has been expanded.Importer: Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; www.oldbridgecellars.com
