“More peach and light apricot notes as well as hints of brioche emerge from the 2017 Viognier. It's a rounded, fleshy, charming effort that has plenty of fruit, moderate acidity, and a good finish. It's going to be versatile on the dinner table.”

“This is a new, everyday-sipping label for Michael Larner, and this wine is extremely fresh on the nose, showing clean and crisp aromas of melon, Asian pear, apple flesh and chalk. There is great zip to the sip, with key lime at first and then more rounded flavors of orange cream and honeydew.” EDITOR’S CHOICE
