Accolades
Wine Spectator
Precise and tightly focused, with apple and lemon flavors highlighted by stony mineral and orange peel.
James Suckling
Plenty of salted caramel with sliced cooked apples and hints of pineapple, both on the nose and palate. Medium- to full-bodied. Hints of flint and mineral. Flavorful and very long. Tangy. Vivid.
