WTN-Westerly Santa Ynez Valley Viognier!

Tasted at Back Room Wines in Napa.

Very nice. Not the explosion of peach of the Rosemblum-this is more restrained and drier (very little RS here) , with white peach, citrus, and quite a bit of nice minerality. Good acidity. Alcohol was very restrained on the palette-this wine didn't taste hot at all. For $18, not a bad quaff!

Don't know if you tasted or liked their SB, but got an ad tonight from Pops for it for $193.41 a box. This is about $50 off list.

Brian = Viognier man??

I'll keep my eyes open for this one

Why would it taste hot??? That's an odd adjective to use to say what the wine is not. Seth Kunin doesn't make disjointed, overbearing wines.

Bernard: The only reason I said it's "not hot" is because I've had quite a few California Viogniers that ARE quite hot. So it's more like a comment to myself "See. Viognier can be refreshing!"
