"Light and simple, with some clean forest fruit and mineral character. Drink now. 7,500 cases made. 82 points" Wine Spectator

"Tightly knit, with fresh plum and mineral aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, with a taut mouthfeel and a clean, crisp finish. Best after 2008. 32,580 cases made. 87 points" Wine Spectator

Ruby red, intense bouquet, cloves, vanilla cherry jam and almonds. Dry taste, full, warm and harmonious with an elegant finish.

"Straw yellow, white wine appearance. Perfumey, but gentle, bouquet offers hints of quinine, minerals, wine and citrus. Tart and acidic at palate entry; midpalate is clean, fresh, dry, winey, mildly citrusy and spicy. Aftertaste is brief, refreshing and squeaky clean. Elegant and sophisticated. Best Buy."
