RATINGS

95Wine Spectator

...there's plenty of substance in this racy white. Lime blossom, blood orange, citronella and hazelnut flavors are at the core, while spice and stone elements emerge on the finish. Finishes with a cascade of citrus and spice notes.

91-93Stephen Tanzer

Reticent nose hints at a subtle spicy quality. Rich, sweet and layered, with flavors of yellow fruits, flowers and spices.

91-94Burghound.com

...exhibit hints of honeysuckle and fennel nuances that complement perfectly the textured, rich and sweet medium plus weight flavors that are quite supple yet remain detailed, energetic and strikingly long on the explosive finish.
