~90 Pts WINE SPECTATOR 2008 Opulent and exotic, featuring brown spice, slate, smoke and tropical fruit notes. This is an open, fluid white, drier in style than most in this group and higher in alcohol. The submerged acidity reveals itself on the finish, along with a tactile sensation around the gums."

90 Pts Wine Spectator (#56 WS Top 100 of 2008) Needs a little air to reveal its floral, apricot and slate aromas and flavors. Beautifully integrated, with a lingering, stony, savory finish. Drink now through 2018.
