RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

...exhibits a muskier bouquet of orange blossom, peach and honeycomb, followed by a medium to full-bodied, pure and textural palate that's expansive and open-knit.

92Stephen Tanzer

Piquant scents of lemon drop, white grapefruit and white peach...boasts terrific purity of fruit and cut and a very long, rising, refined finish.
