RATINGS

96Wine Enthusiast

Delicate wisps of smoke, white pepper and allspice accent fleshy grapefruit and white-peach flavors in this wine...balances sun-soaked yellow-fruit flavors against an earthen, salty undertow.

92Burghound.com

A discreet but still perceptible touch of wood frames aromas of apple confit, oyster shell and a whiff of olive oil character. Here too there is a fine texture to the slightly bigger and richer flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the equally powerful and lingering finish where the only reproach is a touch of warmth.
