Wine Spectator
"89 pts ... Lively, with a ripe beam of lemon and pink grapefruit framed nicely by brisk gooseberry and straw notes on the finish." -- 08/11

Stephen Tanzer
"90 pts ... Bright pale yellow. Ripe, expressive aromas of nectarine, peach, grapefruit peel and dusty spices, all lifted by a floral quality; showing the clean, fruity side of the variety, not the herbal, peppery one. Smooth, round and dry in the mouth, with good breadth and a seamless texture to the stone fruit and pineapple flavors. Sound acidity gives the wine a light touch and solid backbone. But this is delicious already." --03/11

Winemaker's Notes
"The wine shows an abundance of tropical fruit, pear, grapefruit and lime aromas on the nose that carry through to the palette. The mouth feel is crisp, yet rich and fruity, and coats the pallet evenly. The well-balanced acid and lingering aftertaste will make you come back for more. "
