7% barrel fermented in Hungarian oak, which the winemaker believes resolves more quickly than French oak, which carries bitterness for a while in his opinion. Light-styled balanced chard, with likable acidity. 90-91

Color is very light and transparent, almost like water. Tangy acidity, but not as bright as the current vintage (2009). Quite good, juicy acid, almost reminds me of a muscadet. The nose shows a hint of funk. This is recognizably sauv blanc in a light style.

A blend containing gewurztraminer, muscat, and viognier. Light in style, bit of tropical fruits on the palate. Refreshing, mild, a crowd pleaser. 87-89.

Semillon-SB blend. Little bit of clay and slate on the nose; the palate shows as much more obviously New World, a little more honeyed than a Graves blanc would be, but nicely done. 86-88.

Has a bit more balanced nose than the 07, with a bit less earth. More tart acidity, less honeyed, a bit fresher, with more sauvignon blanc character than the 07. 86-88
