Expert Reviews

89 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2009

($65) Good medium bright straw. Highly aromatic nose combines lemon drop, fresh herbs, a hint of resin and rocky minerality. Broad, rich and sweet, with pineapple, pear juice, citrus blossom and stone fruit flavors accented by sweet oak (57% new).
