“90” Wine Spectator, March 14, 2011
Fresh and vibrant, intense and focused, with racy pear, apple and citrus-laced flavors that end with a dash of tropical fruit and pineapple. Drink now through 2017. 213 cases made. —J.L.
"90" Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/June 2011
Bright gold. Tangerine, honey and lees on the nose, complemented by notes of jasmine and minerals. Juicy and precise on entry, then fleshier in the mid-palate, offering chewy citrus and orchard fruit flavors and a hint of bitter pear skin. Finishes with very good grip and persistence.
