Very ripe, with enormous peach, tropical fruit and apple flavors, and nicely dry and crisp. But it tastes very oaky, like toothpicks, actually, with in-your-face toasty, vanilla and honeysweet woodsap flavors that the beautiful fruit doesn’t even need. ——S.H.(3/1/2007)—— 83

Bright in fruit and rather tart, this pretty wine is enriched by smoky oak and a creamy texture. It’s spicy through the finish.——S.H.(12/15/2004)—— 86

Opens with aromas of peaches, butter cream, vanilla and caramel, then turns fruity and rich in the mouth. It’s a bit awkward, as there’s a blast of herbs or veggies in the middle palate that doesn’t seem to belong. ——S.H.(8/1/2001)—— 83

From a more obscure growing region north of Napa and east of Mendocino, there is some pear flavor on top of pronounced oak. Decent in the mouth with enough acidity to protect the fruit from oak overload. Lemony and light, with a lot of buttery, oaky, soft character. Tastes better at first and then loses steam.——M.S.(10/1/1999)—— 85
