 Tasted by Tudz Drkl on 1/20/2010 & rated 88 points: Rich fruit on the front and middle with a good crisp finish make for a really nice profile. There are notes of citrus and (some) pineapple mixed into a distinct minerality on the nose. A super value to boot. (2191 views)

 Tasted by jorge777martinez on 1/3/2009 & rated 90 points: Great Buy!!! This wine has an exellent nose with hints of citrus fruits. It has great fresh fruit and acidic balance to counter it's minerality on the palate. (2474 views)

 Tasted by daniellobo on 8/18/2008 & rated 88 points: Very pleasant with somne floral nose. In the mouth good minerality and peach notes. Nice acidity. I guess it could evolve a bit, but personally I like it right now. (1342 views)

 Tasted by Mattshank on 5/19/2008 & rated 90 points: Nose: Lemon, stone, and hints of basil. Palate: Fat and rich but still fresh and lively.Traces of lemon flavors.
