92 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2009

($53; 85% grand cru chardonnay and 15% premier cru pinot noir) Light, orange-hued pink, with a delicate bead. Redcurrant and blood orange aromas are complemented by notes of talc and allspice, with a mounting floral quality. Very fresh and focused on the palate, which offers tangy citrus and red berry flavors and a strong undercurrent of minerals. With air a note of bitter cherry skin comes up and adds a serious quality. Finishes with impressive clarity, grip and tangy persistence, repeating the blood orange and cherry skin notes. (Atherton Wine Imports, Menlo Park, CA)
