Quail Hill Vineyard Old Vines Pinot Noir 2012

Still one of my favorite Pinots. Sad this is my last bottle. Really dark in color, lots of fruit left, hints of earth. Absolutely lovely. — 7 years ago

K&M

Quail Run Vineyard Viognier 2015

Pretty light gold color, medium viscosity. Lots of fresh, new, toasty oak on the nose, citrus, green grapes, some green grass/hay. Palette sees more oak, citrus, apricots, white flowers, medium+ acid, healthy alcohol, but not high octane like many French Viognier. I enjoyed this- I preferred this colder, medium complexity Viognier compared to many of the burning French versions. — 8 years ago
