Steps it up in the complexity department with aromas of white corn, bread and creamy citrus. The palate is integrated and smooth, while creamy orange and melon flavors take over. Finishes tropical but dry, with a good final kick. Richer than some due to 80% Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the blend.——M.S.(11/1/2009)—— 89

Disappointing considering the price. There’s no good reason to pay $40 for a cava that’s cidery and offers hints of vinegar along the way. That said, this is not a cheaply made disaster unworthy of a rating; still, it’s austere and hints at sauerkraut.——M.S.(12/15/2007)—— 80
