Tasting note: One of my favorite cuvees is always La Carriere. The 2006 La Carriere (about 2,600 cases) displays wonderful honeyed grapefruit, crushed rock, and some spicy, yeasty notes along with nectarine and honeyed citrus. The wine is rich, full-bodied, with a striking minerality. It should drink nicely for 3 years maximum. (92 pts. Robert Parker)
Tasted: Dec. 2008
Score: 92
Drink: 2008-11
Tasting note: Firm, intense and complex, with fresh, vibrant, spicy pear, melon and apple flavors that turn rich and creamy, ending with a dash of hazelnut and spice. Drink now through 2011. 2,600 cases made. (90 pts. JL, Wine Spectator)
Tasted: Jul. 31, 2008
Score: 90
Drink: Now-2011
Tasting note: Green-tinged yellow. More precise, subtle aromas of stone fruits, minerals and nutmeg. A step up in energy and fruit intensity, with lovely clarity to the flavors of stone fruits, lemon, lime, spices and crushed rock. Finishes quite long and brisk, in need of at least a year of patience. (93 pts. Stephen Tanzer)
