Served by the glass at a restaurant with a Chef's Tasting Menu. I was surprised by this wine as I was expecting big oak and overdone flavors but it was good and matched well with the food. This could be a buy around $20 pb. 2006 Stags' Leap Winery Viognier - USA, California, Napa Valley (4/2/2008) Light gold in color; Balanced and crisp Viognier. Very lightly oaked with white flower and citrus flavors. (88 pts.) Posted from CellarTracker

Thanks for the note, I might have to give this one a try. I too have been surprised with Stags' Leap Winery as of late (well, other than a corked bottle of 2002 "The Leap"). IMHO, they seem to have shown a marked improvement over recent vintages.

Kevin Morrisey is the winemaker at Stags' Leap as of 2005. He's an excellent winemaker who has a great touch with wine.
