  10/11/2013 - nycebo Does not like this wine: 81 Points

  I've had past vintages of the Bridge before and was summarily pleased but the 2010 was very underwhelming. It's 100% Viognier and a quite high 14.8% alcohol. On the nose, very strong syrupy flavors of vanilla, honeysuckle and butterscotch diminish any nuance of fruit that remains. A tasting reveals that the syrupy continues to dominate the structural theme with very high butterscotch flavors. Moreover, the high alcohol makes it hard to appreciate the wine at anything except quite chilled temps. Have always loved what Krupp is doing with their vineyard, but to my palate, they missed the boat here.
