"Focused and richly styled, with spicy tropical fruit aromas and appealing baked apple, cinnamon and herb notes. Drink now. 40,000 cases made. -T.F" (Reviewed 12/12)

"Lively when first poured, this charming blend of chardonnay and pinot noir settles down nicely in the glass, with scents of vanillin and golden apple. The flavors start off rich but tense up in the middle, finishing with a lemony briskness."

83 Wine Enthusiast

"Bright yellow with fresh lime aromas and flavors of yellow fruit and pear. A bubbly, broad wine that lacks the substance of some of Gruets other bottlings."
