Kunin Viognier Stolpman Vineyard Santa Ynez Valley 2004

Pale yellow.

Seems a bit saline on the nose, with very ripe apple, almond and pear. Quite different from earlier Kunin vintages.

Sweet initial impression with saline character quite prominent. Good flesh, without any overt sweetness from the mid-palate on. Finishes on a metallic note. This is a wild one, and consistent with another bottle 6 months ago.

Seems like it has Roussanne or Marsanne blended in.
