89 points from Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Light, bright gold. Pungent aromas of tangerine, poached pear and floral honey over a subtle underpinning of minerals. Supple, gently sweet orchard fruit and melon flavors are firmed by a citrus zest quality and pick up an exotic floral note on the back end. This juicy, fruit-driven wine will work well with spicy foods." (Sep/Oct 09) According to Robert Parker: "The 2008 The Hermit Crab is a blend of 72% Viognier and 28% Marsanne. The aromatics offer floral notes, honey, candle wax, and peach. Smooth-textured and ripe, the wine also has excellent depth and length. Enjoy it over the next 1-2 years." (12/09) According to Wine Spectator: "This silky white shows spicy pear and floral notes that mingle nicely on the finish. Drink now." (11/09)
