94 VM.
"Green-tinged gold. Bright, mineral-accented aromas of citrus pith, licorice and chalky minerals. Deeply concentrated and lively, offering intense orange, lemon and pear flavors along with suggestions of iodine and smoky lees. The mineral note returns on the very deep, sharply focused finish. This is the inaugural vintage from this sandy site, which comprises 25 acres a few miles due north of the Kistler winery." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May 2012 |
