Cold Heaven 2005 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Viognier (Santa Barbara County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $35
Sometimes lean, elegant wines appeal to specific tastes, and this is that kind of wine. It’s very dry, very acidic, with a steely minerality undergirding fresh pineapple and honeysuckle flavors. This is a carefully calibrated wine, not one of those over-the-top Viogniers.  — S.H.  (11/15/2006)

Cold Heaven 2000 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Viognier (Santa Ynez Valley)

  1. $25
Pretty and elegant, though not typically forward like many Viogniers. The wine shows off hints of melon, peach, apricot and spice. Silky and lean on the palate, with a clean finish.  — J.M.  (12/15/2002)

Cold Heaven 2002 Young Vine Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Viognier (Sta. Rita Hills)

  1. $18
On the palate, this wine has crisp acids, a minerally feel and a pleasant pear-flavored core. Finishes with good length, and minerally, nutty flavors.  — W.E.  (11/15/2004)

Cold Heaven 2002 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Viognier (Santa Barbara County)

Nose is fairly closed, revealing light hay aromas with some airing. Its size is impressive—muscular, even—but showcases more wood than fruit. One reviewer found noticeable alcohol on the finish.  — W.E.  (11/15/2004)

Cold Heaven 2001 Le Bon Climate Viognier (Santa Barbara County)

  1. $25
Nothing heavenly about this wine. It's too old. Smells vegetal, tastes flat, end of story.  — S.H.  (8/1/2005)
