(50% viognier and 50% chardonnay, all from the Bien Nacido Vineyard): Light gold. Highly perfumed scents of nectarine, pear and orange, with suave honeysuckle and ginger notes adding complexity. Juicy, focused and nervy on entry, picking up flesh and heft in the mid-palate and offering fresh citrus and pit fruit flavors. A plush but refreshingly nervy blend, finishing with strong punch and spiciness. This wine is way too easy to drink, which is by no means a bad thing.
