A great price for a wine this balanced and savory. It shows citrus, fig and green melon flavors that have real complexity. Acidity and dryness are the hallmarks of this slightly oaky wine, which was grown in Paso Robles.——S.H.(2/1/2008)—— 85

A bit simple, but bone dry and very clean, with zesty acidity that frames keen flavors of pink grapefruit. This is a good choice for a cocktail style wine if you’re on a budget and have a crowd to entertain. ——S.H.(10/1/2006)—— 84

Largely from Paso Robles fruit, the grapes got ripe enough under the hot sun to produce spearmint, citrus, and honeydew flavors, ripe and apparently sweet, with enough acids to make it drink bright. ItOs flashy on the surface, a wine that appeals to the senses, with richness, cleanliness, and a long, honeyed finish. Good value.——S.H.(9/12/2002)—— 86
