Light, floral and almondy, with hints of pear, apple and buttercup on the nose. More creamy and soft than acidic, with pear and vanilla flavors. The finish holds steady for a while, and overall the wine is likable. 75% Viura and 25% Chardonnay. ——M.S.(6/1/2010)—— 85

At 75% Viura, this is a hollow wine with dull aromas and midland apple and pear flavors. The finish is oaky and plump, but not very exciting. ——M.S.(3/1/2004)—— 82

Smooth and round, this ripe blend offers hay, nut and stone-fruit notes on the nose. In the mouth, the peach-apricot edge turns almost Gewurztraminer-like, picking up tangerine and lychee elements. A seductive finish completes this attractive offering. Best Buy. —M.M.——M.M.(4/1/2002)—— 86
