Ratings & Reviews
Rank #86 Top 100 Wines of 2011 & 91 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:"A racy style, with crisp peach and apple flavors that are generously spiced. The focused finish shows notes of sea salt and pepper. Fresh and vibrant. Drink now through 2020. 6,000 cases made." –KM (May 31, 2011)
Wine Enthusiast Magazine:"While it has a rounded, rich texture, the wine also has just the right amount of freshness, allied to a pinch of spice. Yellow fruits, sprinkled with pepper, are given a firm lift of acidity." — R.V. (10/1/2010)
