Apart from its impenetrable faux “wax” capsule, this top shelf offering from Belle Vallee is difficult to distinguish from the winery’s Willamette Valley cuvee, except for its lofty price. It’s light, insubstantial and one dimensional, pleasant to drink but without the depth or detail that you would expect from a prestige bottling.——P.G.(7/1/2007)—— 85
