95 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2012

(80% chardonnay and 20% pinot noir, disgorged November, 2011):  Light, bright gold.  Exotic aromas of poached pear, smoky minerals and iodine are complemented by a sexy floral nuance.  On the palate, incisive, tangy flavors of candied citrus and orchard fruits, ginger and minerals gain flesh and weight with air.  Finishes on a seductively sweet note, with outstanding juicy persistence and strong mineral cut and grip.
