Here's all the oaky vanilla, ripe peach flavor, and creamy texture that people like in an affordable wine. It's not white Burgundy, but this pretty wine from the Sierra Foothills has plenty of charm and character. ——S.H.(12/31/2001)—— 86

The nose is big and bold—this is not about subtlety but instead it’s focused on heavy pineapple and other tropical fruits. The palate is loaded with bright lemony notes and softer pear and apple accents. Hefty and forward; not terribly deft.——W.E.(6/1/2000)—— 87
