"95 Points. There’s a touch of volatility here, I think, that makes for a slightly edgy and interesting lead in to the smell of lemon, nectarine, citrus blossom and gentle spicy oak. It’s fine, tight and citrussy with an engaging dry flintiness and has a lightly smoothing gloss of cashew cream to balance it out. There’s a sort of lemon sherbet flavour (only not so sweet) on the finish that’s very attractive. It’s a stylish wine with Burgundian styling (sorry CM), and one for drinking rather than showing (off). And yes, I’m supposed to be tasting, but I kept drinking. A good sign that. Tasted : March 10 Alcohol: 13.5% Price : $38 Closure : Screwcap" - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.

"Hand picked fruit is gently whole bunch pressed into a tank and settled overnight. It is then transferred into French oak barriques (20% New, 80% second, third and fourth use) and inoculated with a neutral yeast. Fermentation is relatively vigorous and complete within two weeks.From May until spring the barrels are stirred every two weeks until MLF is complete. The wine is left on lees until bottling with filtration in February, 10 months after harvest. Aromas of lemon, white peach, apple and pear combine with subtle oak. A good follow up to the 2006 and 2007 wines reflecting the favourable 2008 vintage conditions. Subtle flavours reflective of the aromas - particularly lemon, pear and elegant oak. The wine has a soft middle palate with good length and a clean finish." - Notes from Dexter Wines.
