2008 Viognier
"The McManis family and their winemakers deserve credit for a Viognier that seriously outperforms. Harvested mostly from their own vineyards in Manteca and made in steel tanks, it offers substantial peach nectar and wildflower, with perfect typicity. A citrus-zest kick provides that lively edge Viognier so deperately needs. Fantastic Value. Suggested by Wilfred Wong."   For Bargain Wines, this is a very good year

2003 Viognier
"It is an excellent offering for this price range. Classic aromas of honeysuckle and apricots jump from the glass of this medium-bodied white. With good acidity as well as freshness and no evidence of wood, it should be enjoyed over the next year."   87 Points
