RATINGS

91The Wine Advocate

Succulent pit and citrus fruit on the palate is shot through with chalky, saline, peaty suggestions, and a deep..finish continues to give equal and impressive billing to both the mineral and ripe, juicy fruit.

91-93Burghound.com

..classy and sophisticated flavors are at once big, rich and intense but with refinement on the wonderfully understated, pure and gorgeously long finish..

90+ Stephen Tanzer

...Ripe, intense and classically dry, with excellent breadth to the flavors of sweet citrus fruits, spices and powdered stone..
