Score 98/100 · Drink 2024-2029, Jeb Dunnuck, Aug 2024

Moving to the Edna Valley, the 2022 Viognier Estate has a beautifully perfumed, exotic, lively style in its tangerine, ripe citrus, honeyed flowers, and chalky mineral-like aromas and flavors. This full-bodied, rich, layered, beautifully textured, seamless effort needs to be tasted to be believed. I absolutely love it today and would drink bottles over the coming 4-5 years. Viognier-driven whites can age, but I vastly prefer them in their first 3-5 years of life, when the fruit is fresh and vibrant.

The 2022 Viognier Estate shows a much less exuberant side of the variety than is typical in California, especially in this challenging, warm vintage. The nose shows focused aromas of orchard fruits, tangerine, white peach and chamomile while the palate is rich and forward but avoids excess weight and concentration. It concludes on a refreshingly lifted, vibrant note framed by notes of dried flowers and crushed stones.
