RATINGS

97Wine Enthusiast

...wows with its tremendous complexity and purity. Energetic aromas of fresh citrus, light orange skins, and ginger spice dominate the nose...palate is elegant and refined, finishing with a beautiful white-tea leaf note, with pure citrus and fresh stones persistent on the finish.

94Burghound.com

Ripe...notes of both white and yellow fruit, herbal tea, just sliced citrus and a hint of lemon zest. The sleeker and bigger-bodied flavors pack plenty of punch and power... Excellent.

93Wine Spectator

Rich and permeated with peach, almond, butterscotch and oak spice flavors...cleanses the palate with vivid acidity and salinity...mineral and spices on the long finish.
