93 Points! This is very flinty, with white pepper and cantaloup and other melon aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and steely at the same time. It’s very flavorful and focused at the finish. Drink now. - JamesSuckling.com

From 25-50 year-old vines. Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel barrels preceded by a one-day skin maceration; local yeasts; natural static decantation. Aging on lees for at least three months with frequent batonnage.

94 Points! Deep gold hue with a light copper edge. Attractive aromatics of loquat and apricots, with some stones and saffron as well. Very full-bodied and textured on the palate with a bone-dry and nicely tannic center palate that gives this plenty of structure. Firm, dry and appetizing. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. - JamesSuckling.com

94 Points! A brilliant expression of the variety, the 2022 Viognier Art Den Hoed Vineyard has tight, almost reductive aromatics of tart apricots, bananas, and salted citrus. It’s pure, medium to full-bodied, has a gorgeous texture, and outstanding length. Coming all from a site in the Yakima Valley and aged in equal parts concrete and used barrels, it will have 2-4 years of prime drinking. It’s one of the finest Viognier outside of Condrieu. - Jeb Dunnuck

The Viognier for this cuvée is sourced from vineyards planted in granite-infused soil in the village of Chavanay. The grapes are fermented with their natural yeasts and done in stainless steel to protect the wine’s freshness. It then sees 6 months in a combination of steel and neutral oak barrels to round out. The result is usually pretty engaging, but in the stellar 2022 vintage Cuilleron absolutely nailed it. Perfectly proportioned, this 14% alcohol white sits comfortably atop the right touch of uplifting acidity. Everything is fresh and expressive, with the subtly meshed peach, honeysuckle and mineral nose a perfect invitation to the peach, pear, spice and faintly honeyed palate.

94 Points! 'Superb'... - Neal Martin, Vinous Media

93+ Points! The 2021 Viognier The Age of Grace comes from Sutherland and Bot River, whole bunch pressed with 11 months on the lees using 15% concrete eggs. With pretty white peach and Mirabelle scents on the nose, this takes time to blossom, but it never fully lets go. The palate is medium-bodied with a gorgeous dried apricot, mango and spicebox entry, nothing blowsy here with a very focused, almost understated finish. Excellent. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media

95 Points! The 2020 Condrieu Chery is slightly more reductive, yet still has brilliant notes of white peach, crushed stone, spice, and honeyed white flowers. Brilliant on the palate as well, with medium-bodied richness, integrated acidity, and a great finish, it's another stunning wine from this estate I'd be thrilled to drink. - Jeb Dunnuck

92 Points! Juicy and ripe, delivering tasty apricot and nectarine notes, with hints of heather, almond and anise through the unctuous finish. - Wine Spectator

96 Points! Gorgeous aromas of persimmons and spices as nutmeg, cinnamon, orange peel, and hints of caramel. Honey and apricot. Full-bodied, dry and layered with dried fruits such as apricots and pears. Botrytis spice. Fine silky phenolic texture and a flavorful finish. Layered and fascinating. Serve at 16 to 18 degrees centigrade. Drink or hold.- JamesSuckling.com
