88-90 Barrel sample. A dark hued wine, with its tense tannins giving a strong backbone to the dry, firm structure. The fruit hardly shows through all this dry, extracted character.

90—92 Barrel sample. Go to this wine for freshness, crispness. It tastes like a Loire Sauvignon Blanc in its freshness, but adds to that with some toast.
