Rated vintages

    The wine feels overworked, with oak used to make it richer. The result is dry, tart and thin, except for all that buttered toast.

  • 200890 pts

    A big improvement over the 2007, Stephens' '08 is rich and ripe. It brims with pineapple, buttered toast, vanilla and cinnamon flavors, brightened with crisp acidity. Easy to drink, and delicious through the finish.
