Reviews and Ratings

Drink Wine and Giggle Gals rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The Drink Wine and Giggle Gals must fess up. Until we started writing wine reviews and expanding our viniferous horizons we would march right past Fess Parker at the liquor store, confusing him with Festus, the scruffy fellow who would hang out with Miss Kitty at the Gunsmoke Saloon. We thought perhaps the Fess Parker winery made moonshine. But Fess Parker wasn't Festus, he was Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, two men the Drink Wine and Giggle Gals would love to go imitation duck hunting with. Viognier is a similarly confusing wine with ancient and unknown origins that is unpredictable and "incredibly challenging". Fess Parker got it right, however. His viognier is a beautiful taste of the wild frontier.
Fess Parker was known for playing Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone on television in the 1950s and 60s. He then put all the money he made into what is now a highly successful winery, as is this exotic Viognier with layers of ripe tropical fruit, honeyed mandarin, ginger spice finishing long, vibrant and dry.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
