Colour: Pale straw with fresh yellow hues. Aroma: A real fruit salad of a wine with opulent tropical character and Viognier spice. Alluring notes of passionfruit, banana and honeydew melon mingle with the heady aromas of ripe mangos and papaya. Palate: The palate features intense spice, apricot and melon flavours with floral overtones of rosepetal and orange blossom. Its generous weight and viscous, almost oily texture are matched by mouth-filling flavour. Happily, is without the unpleasant phenolic grip so typical of this variety. Wine Spectator Soft, ripe, round and generous, with peppery spice and pear flavors. Drink now. 500 cases imported. Score: 85. —Harvey Steiman, May 15, 2005.
