91 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2010

($42; 100% roussanne raised in barriques, one-third new) Bright gold. Citrus, minerals and brown spices on the nose. Penetrating lemon and lime flavors gain a fleshiness in the middle palate and take on a deeper pit fruit quality with no loss of vivacity. Offers very good focused citrus fruit and mineral notes on the long, sappy, spicy finish. I'd give this racy wine another year to unwind but there'd be no crime in drinking it now.
