A nicely fresh, driven style, displaying mouthwatering green apple, fig and green almond notes that ripple through the finish. Delivers range without being overdressed with toast. Drink now. 89 pts Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 2011
Pale, bright yellow. Pure, subtle aromas and flavors of vineyard peach, lemon drop and ginger. Round and broad, but with nicely integrated acidity and sexy oak spices giving the wine a light touch. Not the last work in cut or intensity but balanced from the outset. Finishes with hints of grapefruit and pineapple.
