Wine Spectator- 91 Points
Tangy citrus, pink grapefruit and green apple flavors give this is mouthwatering sensation, with floral aromas. Full-bodied, rich and layered, ending with a long, persistent finish. Drink now through 2014-J.L(12/15/2009)
Wine Enthusiast- 91 Points
Brings Foxen's usual steely, dry, minerally approach to Chardonnay, which makes for a more versatile, elegant wine. It's bone dry, while high acidity makes the mouth water, but the austerity is relieved by the ripeness of the citrus, peach and apple fruit. Should develop through 2013, becoming creamier and nuttier.-S.H(12/31/2009) |
