Clean, focused and bright, featuring lime peel, lemon and grassy herbal notes along with ripe melon and peach flavors that are all ripe, concentrated and juicy. Drink now. 1,741 cases made. 88 points (Website Review, 2010)

International Wine Cellar, Steve Tanzer

Lemon drop and pineapple aromas lifted by a floral topnote. Supple, ripe and pliant, but with more thrust than an even rounder and muskier tank sample of the 2009 that preceded it, a wine that showed an almost chardonnay-like richness. Good grip to the pineapple and sexy oak flavors. Brisk and varietally expressive wine with very good juicy, dusty persistence. 91 points (May/June 2010)
