91 / A-

Tasted by Mike Supple - 16 Jan 2009

Dark inky purple with a bright fuchsia rim. Tons of orange zest in the nose supported by dark blackberry, blueberry and rich caramel. Thick entry on the palate with fruit that unfolds from front to back. Plum, caramel, blackberry and boysenberry fill the mouth. Still very young with lots of fine grained tannins, balanced oak and a nice underlying acidity. Lingering spicy dark fruit finish.

90 / B+

Tasted by Mike Supple - 04 Dec 2008

Medium yellow core with a bright, clear rim. Ripe tropical pineapple aromas accented by light oak, yellow apples and a soothing hit of marjoram. Classic Napa Chardonnay on the palate. Medium bodied with light notes of cream and toasted oak surrounding yellow apple and pear fruits. Fresh, flavorful and a nice lingering finish.
