“90” Wine Spectator,  August 31, 2009
“Mixes fragrant floral, wild berry and minerally, pebbly scents with a rich core of flavors that are medium –to-full-bodied, deep and persistent, retaining an elegant mouthfeel.  Drink now through 2013.”

“87”    Connoisseurs’ Guide  to California Wines  - June 2009
“Led in the nose by a nicely composed mix of strawberries, red cherries, vanilla and blossoms, this briskly balanced and ever so slightly tart, middleweight wine is charged with plenty of clean and lively young fruit.  It will shine when matched up with milder meats or seared ahi tuna.”
