90 Points - Wine Spectator, November 2009
#78 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2009!
"Lively and fun to drink, with creamy Asian pear and citrus aromas that lead to crisp, easygoing apple, yeasty cinnamon and mineral flavors. Drink now through 2012. 103,000 cases made." -Tim Fish

88 Points - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, November 2009
"There is a certain Blanc de Blancs lightness and delicacy to the softly yeasted, mildly chalky nose of this mannerly wine, and the same sense of careful crafting comes across once on the palate. Long on pinpointy bubbles, very well-balanced and always light in its feet, it is has the edge in finesse when compared to most of its similarly priced cousins."
