Wine Spectator 90 points (Nov 15 2009) Ultimate Wine Challenge 2011 Finalist. Yeasty, matchstick scent. Smoky minerality infuses this wine’s wild strawberry flavors with a savory push-pull that’s addictive and tasty. It’s full and graceful, shaped by the fine acidity and tiny bubbles. Dried herbs, especially oregano, adds further intrigue.  Top 100 WS 100 points 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. –TF The #78 in Wine Spectator’s 2009 Top 100
