RATINGS

93+ The Wine Advocate

...emerges from the glass with crystalline purity in its finely chiseled fruit. It possesses striking mid-palate energy and focus, with sweet floral notes that add lift on the finish. This is a marvelously symmetrical, well-balanced wine loaded with sheer class and personality.

92Wine Spectator

Enticing, with peach and pear flavors, tinged by oak spice. Refined and elegant, yet with intensity, followed by a soft finish.

92-95Stephen Tanzer

A hint of reduction dissipates to reveal aromas of ripe peach and nectarine complicated by peppery spices. Sweet, brisk and densely packed; plenty of stuffing here but in a distinctly energetic style.
