RATINGS

95-98Robert M. Parker Jr.

Possesses honeysuckle, tangerine, and orange blossom characteristics along with great acidity, plenty of minerality, and fabulous texture, length, and richness.

93Wine Spectator

Rich without being overblown, with smoky, toasty oak joining ripe pear, melon, citrus, honeysuckle, mineral and fig flavors that are notably elegant and refined, keeping a tight focus and ending with a lingering aftertaste.

93Vinous / IWC

Intensely mineral aromas of Meyer lemon, pear, apple and dusty talc. Fresh and energetic, offering tangy citrus and orchard fruit flavors and gaining spiciness with air. Finishes fleshy and broad, with excellent clarity...
