Tasting note
(60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay; disgorged January 23, 2012): Light, bright gold. Toasted bread, pear nectar and honey on the nose and palate, with a subtle touch of rhubarb adding an earthy quality. Spicy, nicely concentrated orchard fruit flavors pick up a bitter citrus pith nuance with air and show very good intensity. Closes on a smoky, leesy note, with firm grip and lingering toastiness. Score - 90. (Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar, Dec. 2012)
