RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

...exudes aromas of pink grapefruit, blueberry preserves, golden delicious apple and exhibits a liqueur-like concentration and creamy texture allied to almost weightless buoyancy on the palate. Hints of white raisin and honey... Subtle mineral and musky-meaty notes add to the sense of mysterious depth displayed in the long, rich, yet firm finish.

93Wine Spectator

Accents of beeswax and quince add depth to the peach and grapefruit notes in this vibrant white.

93Vinous / IWC

Smoky pineapple jam, fiery botrytis tones and an elevated minerality animate the palate. Finishes dense, juicy and long.
