This is the fourth 90-point score this bottling has earned in as many years, meaning the wine has hit a very nice stride. Made with no oak, it offers a crisp, fruity freshness, with flavors of limes, tangerines, peaches, pears and vanilla.——S.H.(4/1/2008)—— 90

Kynsi is showing a commitment to this variety that is praiseworthy, and consumers should take notice. The wine has the full-bodied creaminess of Chardonnay, but with unique fresh melon, guava and green apple flavors that are deep and long on the finish.——S.H.(5/1/2007)—— 90

Much like Chardonnay, with a creamy texture framing ripe pineapples, mangoes, apple butter, toast and caramel. This is a big, powerful wine but one with great control and finesse.——S.H.(12/1/2006)—— 90

Smells dusty, fruity and very young, an impression confirmed in the mouth, which is a jumble of pineapple, apricot, oak and acidity. It doesn’t all quite come together, but it will, in a year or so, and could hold for a while after that. ——S.H.(10/1/2005)—— 90
