Good deal of oak. Fairly rich. Lots of apples, more baked apple in profile. 88-90

First white that reached the level of outstanding for me. Heavy on oak right now, but carries a long finish, and a lovely richness that shows for nice development. 90-91

Very nice. Rich, but great acidity. Med+ finish that is mouthwatering. 89-90

This wine really delivered. Gorgeous nose really explodes with honey, butter, floral notes, and apples. Extremely tasty and mouthwatering. Touch of the tropical, and a phenomonal full mouthfeel. Star of the whites. 92-95

Oak not as well integrated as the folatieres. Geat palate, lovely intensity. A great wine, but shadowed by the folatieres. 91-94

Pretty nose. Rasberry and strawberries. Nice fruit. Fairly tannic. A lithlle earth on the finish. Enjoyable, but kind of pricey for entry level. 85-87

Rasberries dominate a soft nose. Very fruit forward. Softer with more lushness then I expected. Very enjoyable pinot right now. 90ish

Strawberry toned fruit on the nose. Decent amount of fruit, but fairly tannic. Good. 86-87

Cinamon and rasberry on the nose. Decent on palate. 84-86

Quite expressive on the nose. Soft, and fruit forward. Very pleasing. but with more structure then I expected for the price. Nice finish as well. This stood out as the best medium priced offering. 90-91

Some baking spices and light red berries on the nose. A little leaner then the Santany. Ok. 86-88

Lean and green. Huge tannins. Tough to get through. Low 80's?

Soft, round, fruited nose. GReat fruit and structure on the palate. Needs time to soften, but a very nice bottle of wine. 89-92

Rasberry and yummy fruit. Medium bodied, with terrific acidity. Lovely wine. 91-93

Elegant, and already drinking beautifully. Gorgeous nose, bursting with red fruits. Classy wine. 92-95

Nice, if a bit generic. Round mouthfeel with lots of dark fruits. The acidity keeps it lively. 87+

Round sweet black fruit. Very good if unexciting. 87-88

This showed the most character of the Novelty Hills. Great bacon fat component. Umm, I love smokey pork! Med. finish. 88-89

Nice crisp apples. Off dry to me. Nice. 87+

Full body, but not as tropical as I remember prior vintages.

Muted nose. Floral palate. Pretty. 86-87

Somewhat pretty nose. Young. Juicy. Easy spanish quaffer. 86+

Keep trying this, and it keeps telling me to be patient. Gorgeous dark fruits, but still hugely tannic. Rich, bruising wine that over delivers. Give it a couple more years. 89-90

Full fruity style slightly off dry. 82-84

Chocolately, mocha style. A little too much oak without anything else for my taste. 81-82
