A soft, perfumed wine, with yellow fruits, green plums and an orange zest texture. It is pure and fresh, emphasizing acidity as well as fruit. There is a delicious, fresh character to this ready-to-drink wine. ——R.V.(12/31/2011)—— 89

Steely, mineral, structured, this is a terroir-driven wine. The wood, carefully balanced, supports this very textured character, while the pear and peach fruits add a further layer. It’s a wine for aging, with its rich acidity pushing it on its way. ——R.V.(12/31/2011)—— 89
