RATINGS

92Vinous / IWC

...another super-appealing wine in this lineup. Floral overtones work so well to play off the natural richness these old vines confer. White flowers, mint and tropical fruit infuse the 2017 with notable complexity and layers of flavor.

16.5+ Jancis Robinson

Subtle nutty aromas and vibrant, crunchy green fruit. Shimmering acidity, medium body, and a touch of blossom on the finish.
