This is a sharp, awkward wine, in which the lees stick out. It’s fruity and doughy, but lacks elegance. ——S.H.(12/31/2005)—— 82

A flavorful, balanced wine that’s dry, creamy and crisp, with tantalizing hints of lime and red raspberry from its 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. It has a round, full mouthfeel. The finish is dry and tart, but you can taste the charry wood for a long time. ——S.H.(12/1/2001)—— 90

Has bright, focused aromas, including lime and raspberry, with nutty, smoky bread dough and yeast. Very clean, with a pronounced kiss of sweet berry fruit. Finishes slightly sweet. ——S.H.(12/1/2000)—— 88
