92+ Stephen Tanzer

Large-scaled, rich and broad but given shape by lovely mineral-driven acidity...Finishes broad, powerful and long, with a slightly tannic character.

...very fresh, layered and fresh mix of both white and yellow orchard fruit that is liberally laced with Chablis elements. There is a textured, indeed almost tender mouth feel to the round and relatively forward flavors

Lime, lemon - sharp fruit but with a leesy flesh that counterbalances beautifully. Excellent stuff.
