RATINGS

93James Suckling

...bright and beautifully fruited red with strawberry, raspberry and mineral aromas and flavors. A stoney undertone, too. Medium-body, firm tannins and a polished finish.

91The Wine Advocate

...notes of peach and pear mingled with white flowers and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, bright and textural, it's an ample but precise wine that's pretty and giving.
