Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A flowery Chardonnay with delicate, almost evanescent flavors of buttercup, buttered toast and grapefruit. It seems overly strong in oak and weak in fruit, showing a minerally spine and raw alcohol. Clean and bone dry, but lacks richness and vibrancy.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
With easily enjoyed flavors of cherries, raspberries and cola, and a nice coat of sweetly smoked sandalwood, this is a pleasant Pinot Noir to drink now. The light body, and some sharpness on the finish, argue against ageability.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Very ripe and jammy, with upfront flavors of cherries, raspberries, cola, persimmons, cinnamon and smoky cedar. Appeals instantly for its candied nature. Drink now.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The aroma suggests a ton of oak, and that impression carries over to the flavors. Butterscotch, buttered toast, caramel, crème brûlée, they’re all tasty, but you don’t want them to dominate, and here, they do. The underlying flavors of pineapples are swamped.
