RATINGS

95-97Robert M. Parker Jr.

...possesses an exquisite liquid minerality as well as gorgeous aromas of citrus oils intermixed with such exotic tropical fruits as guava and passion fruit. Full-bodied, with dazzling palate penetration, fine balance...

93Stephen Tanzer

...aromas of peach, orange rind and crushed stone. Dense, thick, chewy and very ripe, with a strong minerality... Very expansive chardonnay with deep spice and mineral flavors and an exotic citrus oil component. Impressively broad and persistent on the back end.

92Wine Spectator

...this is a leaner style, with green apple and green pear flavors and touches of mint, cedar and tobacco. Still, there's no shortage of rich, complex, concentrated flavors. It's just a bit tight on tne finish.
