RATINGS

95Wine Enthusiast

...swirl of lemon and lime, with a burst of a baked yellow apple spiked with clove and cinnamon... Crisp, juicy flavors of lemon verbena, lime sorbet and wet slate are propelled by shiny, happy acidity.

95Jeb Dunnuck

...bright notes of lime zest, wet stones, green apples, saline, and citrus blossoms. Medium-bodied, it gains a bit of intensity but is well-managed on the palate, with a clean, ripe, crystalline feel and a hint of fresh pineapple. It has balanced ripeness as well as a note of stone fruit.

94Vinous / IWC

...entices with a slightly tropical bouquet as confectionary spices give way to ripe mangos, peaches and hints of chamomile... Silken and nearly creamy in feel, it displays ripe pit fruits and honeyed inner florals as a salty flourish adds intrigue toward the close. This leaves the palate drenched in primary concentration and crunchy mineral tones, finishing structured and spicy yet with a pretty inner sweetness.

94James Suckling

A spiced and subtly nutty chardonnay with sliced nectarines, dried lemons, honeysuckle and touches of vanilla and almonds on the nose. Juicy and mouth-filling, it has a medium body with tangy acidity coming through. Vibrant and tense.
