RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...lovely nose of clear honey, Meyer lemon, beeswax, oyster liquor and verbena. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and enveloping, it's deep and concentrated, with tangy acids, chalky structure and a long, saline finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Quite a rich nose and then a spread of tense green fruit spreads across the palate.
