Expert Reviews

88 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2002

Ripe nose currently dominated by smoky, roasted oak. Livelier in the mouth than the regular sauvignon bottling, with hay and spice flavors perked up by sound acidity. But the wine's fruit component is currently overshadowed by a somewhat tannic oak element on the back end.
