. The weather didn’t cooperate in fully ripening the grapes this cool vintage, so you’ll find some cat pee flavors and Marlborough-style gooseberry, juniper and grapefruit. But such is the acidity and cleanliness that this single-vineyard wine packs plenty of interest and power.——S.H.(5/1/2007)—— 86

This very good wine flatters the palate with the most succulent citrus, apple and tropical fruit flavors, with just a touch of grassiness. One-half was barrel fermented, adding smoky vanilla notes and a creaminess offset by refreshing tartness. It’s a good value considering the quality. ——S.H.(9/1/2004)—— 89
