RATINGS

96Wine Enthusiast

...attractive combination of ripe, juicy orchard fruit and cool chalkiness. The palate adds a rounded nutty dimension to the ripeness, with a textured, smooth and rich core that allows glimpses of limestone depth.

92Vinous / IWC

...pressed white flowers mingling with lemon zest and light chalk dust aromas. The palate is very well balanced with a slightly honeyed opening, counterbalanced by a fine thread of acidity and subtle tropical notes toward the finish. Everything here remains nicely controlled and there is reassuring persistence. Excellent.

Juicy and dense and very convincing. Pretty damn good!
