Pour Favor

Pour Favor writes "Leave it to the folks at well-known Anne Amie Vineyards to deliver an exceptional, if not lesser known, wine. The 2007 Cuvée A Müller Thurgau’s tropical and floral aromas could very easily be bottled on their own and used by aroma therapists to rejuvenate clients."

June 2009

Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar

Stephen Tanzer gives our 2006 L'iris 91 points, writing "Laid-back aromas of strawberry, raspberry, rose and cola. Light-bodied red and darker berry flavors are braced by tangy minerals and firmed by fine-grained tannins. Gains power with air while maintaining freshness and precision. There's a Burgundian gracefulness to this wine that's very intriguing. Finishes with sneaky length and suave, lingering sweetness."
