RATINGS

92Wine Spectator

Expressive and profound, beautifully balancing oak and fruit and floral flavors. Notes of apple, mint, heather and butter mingle in harmony, supported by vivid acidity. Picks up a bit of crunch toward the long, mouthwatering finish, adding to the interesting texture.

92Wine Enthusiast

Pronounced aromas of toasted nuts, singed orange rind and baked apple lead the nose of this enticing and rich-smelling wine. The palate is medium in weight and offers more of those same ripe and spicy tones balanced by medium acidity. Notes of pie crust and toasted apple carry the lingering close, with an additional kiss of orange rind.

91Vinous / IWC

The palate is fresh and vibrant with crisp acidity, the oak remaining discreetly in the background. Orange pith and tangerine notes appear toward the clean, pure finish. Lovely.

90The Wine Advocate

...offers balanced aromas of oak, sweet citrus and yellow apple skin. Medium-bodied, the wine shows a delightful balance and texture across the mid-palate with a pleasing mouthfeel that gives way to elements of sweet corn and spiced yellow apple. A fine, mineral essence hits the palate before ending with a lingering finish.
