Still very herbaceous, this Sauvignon Blanc-dominated wine is ripe, full of melon and peach flavors, with an attractive zesty character. There’s enough structure for 2–3 years’ aging. ——R.V.(6/1/2011)—— 88

There is an attractively piquant spice aroma from new wood on this soft, ripe wine. Along with the wood flavors, there are fresh pears, creamy Golden Delicious apples and a fine, arching structure of fresh tannins. Great, mouthwatering acidity marks the finish.——R.V.(2/1/2009)—— 89
