89 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2009

($55; 60% chardonnay and 40% pinot noir) Light gold with a strong bead. Highly aromatic bouquet of pear, quince paste, white flowers, toasted grain, smoke and peach skin. Deeply concentrated orchard and pit fruit flavors are braced by dusty minerals and repeat the smoky note. Manages to be both rich and lively, and finishes with strong grip and lingering mineral and floral qualities. This is ready to drink.
