Nuts and Brew - Laguna Hills Tasted Tuesday, June 2, 2009 by Paul Lin with 557 views
Floral notes with layers of peach and apricots. Refreshing and balanced on the palate. Reminiscent of a toned down Viognier with slightly higher acidity. 87-88 points.

Partial ML. 10% new oak. Ripe notes of pineapples, mango, with hints of popcorn. Balanced on the palate, if slightly sweet. 86-87 points.
Earthy notes of plum, blueberry, and peppercorns. Slightly rustic and bitter on the palate finishing with a touch of fig and dried herbs.
Cool notes of blackberries and oyster shell. Nothing wrong with the wine, but nothing too exciting either.
Roasted notes mixed nuts, marshmallows, grilled plums and herbs. Soft on the palate with a lingering finish.
