2009 Miguel Torres Marimar Estate, Don Miguel Vineyard
The nose is fragrant with floral aromas of honeysuckle, characteristic of the Spring Mountain clone, plus notes of pineapple and orange zest from the Rued. On the palate the wine keeps opening up to reveal hints of apple pie and tapioca, nicely framed by judicious oak reminiscent of hazelnut and spice. A complex wine, round and well balanced, with a creamy and engaging finish.

2009 Rodney Strong Reserve
A rich, creamy style that features ripe fig, peach and honeydew melon, with broad, expansive texture and good length. Retains its elegance and finesse, ending with a smoky roasted marshmallow note. Drink now through 2018.

90 POINTS, ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE

2008 Ramey, Ritchie Vineyard
Delivers a tight, taut laser beam of flavors, riding lively acidity that carries the green apple, pineapple, citrus and honeydew melon notes. Gains depth and velocity, and is built to gain even more with cellaring. Drink now through 2016.
