Pleasant and refreshing with nice varietal character and good structure. Apple and peach flavors are clean and pure, backed by crisp acids. Little, if any, oak detracts from the pretty fruit.——S.H.(12/15/2002)—— 86

With this wine, Callaway takes a step away from its longtime Temecula appellation and toward the increasingly well-regarded Coastal designation. The wine is a little oakier than Callaway’s previous bottlings and the fruit is lean, tending toward grapefruit and green apple. It’s crisp and ultraclean, and a good value. ——S.H.(2/1/2001)—— 86

There’s a lot to like in this fruit-driven lightly oaked wine--like crisp just-ripe green apple with a hint of lime and a tangy refreshing finish.——L.W.(12/31/1999)—— 84
