Huge flavors in this creamy wine, exploding in pineapples, limes, kiwi fruit and peaches, with a tangy edge of gooseberry. It’s dry and acidic and clean. Tastes a little honey sweet, but the tartness balances. ——S.H.(4/1/2011)—— 86

Dry and crisply acidic, with the gooseberry flavors from 40% Musque clone, this wine was grown northeast of Santa Rosa, which would put it near Chalk Hill. Mainly stainless steel fermented, with a touch of new French oak, it shows elegance and finesse.——S.H.(7/1/2007)—— 87
