93 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2011

(70% pinot noir and 30% chardonnay; L3006183):  Bright gold.  Smoke-accented orchard fruits, herbs and citrus pith on the the intensely perfumed nose.  Deeply pitched but lively on the palate, with very good depth to its intense pear and lemon curd flavors.  The smoky note builds on the back half and carries through a long, sappy, impressively focused finish.  This year's release seems tighter and more youthful than last year's version.
