RATINGS

92+ The Wine Advocate

...lifted, oyster shell scented bouquet that is very well defined, even a touch of mint...palate is fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, quite saline towards the finish with a long, lightly spiced aftertaste.

91+ Stephen Tanzer

Perfumed, expressive aromas of lemon zest, white pepper and flowers...creamy mid-palate texture is leavened by a brisk, slightly tart lemony quality...penetrating finish is tactile, savory and long.
