Expert Reviews

89 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2010

($35; a new appellation wine; includes the Gap's Crown and Durell-Sand Hill fruit in 2008) Bright yellow. Apple, pear, peach and honey on the nose, plus a light stony note. Supple and sweet if not particularly complex, with good firm acidity providing definition and shape. A tad dry on the back.
