I’m on a roll lately with these deeply perfumed whites. First it was a week-long fling with the white wines of Alsace. Then the other evening, I just wanted to lose myself in this lovely Viognier from Calera — dab a little behind my ears as I happily sipped it on my patio, with the honeysuckle filling the breeze and emphasizing the honeysuckle aromas of the wine, plus a big bowl of pistachios for a nibble — it was heaven.

Calera 2007 Viognier Mt. Harlan ($28). Honeysuckle and apricot aromas introduce smooth peach and apricot flavors, with light mineral and spice notes that linger on the long, generous, evolving finish. Ready to drink now and over the next couple of years. Locate this wine online or in your area.
