The 2007 Herman Story Viognier, from the White Hawk Vineyard, located in the Los Alamos Hills in Santa Barbara County, is intense and well balanced, with flavors of honey and tropics.

Gorgeous floral, spice white and tropical fruit nose. For a full throttle white this is very light on its feet with plenty of zippy acidity providing grip and freshness. Holds its alcohol quite nicely. The palate is massive but still holds everything together. A massive effort from Russell From, the winemaker and proprietor at Herman Story Wines.

This is one of the finest Viogniers I have ever tasted.
