2020 Siegel Special Reserve Viognier - 88 PTS - Silver Medal - BTI

bti silver 2021 b"Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of peach gummies, tinned pears, hints of juniper, bay, and steamed rice with a supple, crisp, dryish light-to-medium body and an even, medium-length finish evoking notes of dried apple with a suggestion of oak flavor. An easy-drinking Viognier for everyday indulging."

"Varietally correct aromas of white flowers, honey and lemon verbena set up a medium-weight palate with bright acidity and good overall balance. Spunky flavors of green grapes are offset by a slight banana-like sweetness. Consider this right for curries and other spicy foods. - MICHAEL SCHACHNER"

iwinereview"This is a great value in Viognier. The Special Reserve has a ripe citrus note, but the palate has better typicity, revealing white stone fruit, apple, and minerals with a full, creamy texture. Very fresh and appealing. A part of the wine goes through a period of ageing in French oak for 3 months."

vinous logo"Pale yellow-gold. Fresh peach, tangerine and candied ginger on the fragrant nose; suggestions of dusty minerals and white flowers build in the glass. Silky and open-knit, offering juicy citrus and pit fruit flavors and a deeper honey nuance. A quinine note adds a refreshingly bitter quality to the nicely persistent finish, which shows good focus and cut. - Josh Raynolds"
