“89 Points - Bright and lively, balancing its floral and lime aromas and flavors against hints of guava, pineapple and sweet pea; finishes tart, but nicely rounded off.”
-Wine Spectator, Oct 15, 2004 (2003 vintage)
“92 Points - Spring-like scents of green grass, green apples, green bell peppers and grapfruit to its vibrant flavors of green grass with grapefruit and orange hints. It ‘skips across the tongue’ with a light but defined backbone of acidity and left lingering notes of minerals and grass on the finish.”

“89 Points - This pretty wine artfully blends earth and fruit cherries and beets with sous bois and leather - but the best part is its mouthfeel, silky and caressing, lingering delicately on the finish.”
