RATINGS

95Burghound.com

A highly nuanced and layered nose frames elegant, expressive and densely fruited white flower and peach aromas plus strikingly rich and powerful full-bodied flavors that possess so much dry extract...

93Wine Spectator

A broad-shouldered, assertive white, boasting apple pie, grapefruit and oak flavors.

93Stephen Tanzer

Lemon, lime, mint, clove and crushed stone on the nose. Rich and pliant but at the same time juicy and powerful; this really resounds in the mouth and grips the palate on the aftertaste.
