A blend of 67% Viognier and 33% Roussanne, aged 9 months in 100% new French oak, that comes from a number of vineyard in Santa Barbara County, the 2013 Tomboy was a little hard to read on this occasion. Starting out with a big, yeasty, wood-dominated bouquet with back ground notes of caramelized peaches, honeysuckle and wood smoke, it cleaned up with air and showed a more classic white fruit and white flower bouquet but still seemed not quite together. Big, full-bodied, voluptuous and textured on the palate, I suspect it just needs 6-8 months of bottle age to come together. - Jeb Dunnuck
