Professional Ratings

93 James Suckling
Great freshness, with white peaches, citrus zest and some chalky, mineral effects on a medium to full body. Offers vivid acidity, bold fruit flavors and good balance. Fermented in a combo of small barrels, big puncheons, stainless steel drums and tanks. Made from four sites in both counties for built-in complexity.
92 Decanter
Super bright and fresh, with tropical fruit notes leading the way, intermixed with pops of bright citrus fruit. Round and silky fruit on the palate is redolent of white peach, guava, and green papaya, all of which build with a lovely richness balanced by a fantastic thread of saline-minerality and lime citrus on the finish, along with a burst of spring flowers. Incredibly food-friendly.
