...rich and impressively well-focused medium full flavors that possess good dry extract levels and a gorgeously intense and palate staining citrus-infused finish. This is a terrific effort and highly-recommended...

88-91Stephen Tanzer

Candied citrus scents and spices on the nose. Sweet but bright, with a captivating sugar/acid balance. Concentrated, moderately dense wine with a brisk edge of acidity.
