A toasty bouquet of citrus and peach showcases the fermentation in new French oak barrels. The peachy fruit carries accents of citrus and rind, with excellent penetration into a lingering finish.——P.G.(12/15/2011)—— 88

The smooth, silky, satiny nose erupts with layers of lemon, lime, tangerine and melon. The pretty, slightly waxy mouthfeel is not unctuous but has good body, precise definition, and no jagged edges. The alcohol stays under 14%, and the finish is round and persistent. ——P.G.(10/1/2010)—— 90

Lush and barrel fermented, this rich Viognier is scented with peaches, orange peel and fresh-baked brioche. The acids are soft and rich, adding depth to the toasty finish. The fruit turns into a sort of orange marmalade, yet retains a crisp, lightly bitter edge. ——P.G.(11/1/2008)—— 90

A pleasing rush of peaches, apricots, orange peel and lime greets the palate, as you first taste this young Viognier from the Milbrandt Vineyards in Washington’s hot climate Wahluke Slope AVA. This wine has been deftly handled, accenting the lushness of the fruit, minimizing the phenolics, and giving weight and nuance to the midpalate. There’s a hint of honey and toast as well, and the 14.2% alcohol feels just right.——P.G.(12/1/2007)—— 90
