WOW! This wine explodes out of the glass. Your imagination takes you to sitting brook-side in a wildflower meadow in Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park drinking lemonade after a long hike. ... the gravel, the bracing clear, clean acidity, the floral nose, the citrus taste. Then add the huge mouth feel and super-long finish. Drank this with chicken breast off the grille and it overwhelmed the food. Want a wine to go with your Oysters Rockefeller, Steamed shrimp with Old Bay spice, and blackened Mahi Mahi? This is it! WAKE ME ... I must be dreaming!

OMG! What a wine. The aroma hit me from across the table when glasses were poured. Even bigger in the mouth. A great one!!!

Good color... young looking for a 95. Plenty of mineral, cherry fruit in the mouth but lacking a bit on the nose. Good, not great.
