"The 2010 Viognier Mt. Harlan, from estate-grown fruit, takes things to another level. Mint, white flowers, pears and peaches are some of the notes that emerge from this transparent, weightless wine. There is plenty of richness but no heaviness whatsoever in the glass. A beautifully chiseled finish rounds things out nicely. The Viognier Mt. Harlan was whole cluster pressed and aged in French oak barrels with no rackings until it was prepared for bottling. This is a fabulous showing from Calera. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018." -- Antonio Galloni, The Wine Advocate 91 points

I fixed grilled scallops with remoulade sauce and decided to pair this wine with the meal. It has completely changed my opinion of Viognier. I never knew the varietal could be so complex, and the finish lingers luxuriously after every sip. This is truly one of the best white wines I have EVER tasted.

The dinner was Spagette Ala Vongole, our favorite summer dinner. I have a bottle of 2010 CALERA Viognier was in the refg. Our regular white wine to go with this dish is usually Santa Margherita, Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, but for our surprise the Viognier really complimented the dish so well. It is excellent white wine to go with a simple seafood dish. I really enjoyed it.
