HAHN ESTATE SANTA LUCIA “NICKY HAHN”’09 – “Fruity, citrusy and slightly candied, this youngster may lack for a spot of depth, but it hits the mark smartly as a forthright, crisply constructed effort whose slight angularity is the work of its high yet decently balanced acidity.”…29.99

It is full in body, yet never heavy, and it is both lively and attractively deep in flavor with a lengthy, brisk, nicely focused finish. It may have enormous early charm, but its best will not be seen for some years yet.”…84.99
