Wine Critic Reviews

The Wine Palate (89): Leaps with vibrant notes of lemon tart, fresh limes, and candle wax, followed by hints of wet slate and elderflower. The light-bodied palate is crisp and fruity with racy citrus flavors and a steely finish.

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider (90): Green apples, lemon rind, white peach, apricots, and roasted nuts fill the nose. The palate starts off creamy, slowly evolving with its freshness, pineapples, and grapefruit, with white peaches that come in at the end. You can enjoy this as soon as it hits the stores. The wine blends 56% Semillon, 29% Sauvignon Blanc, and 15% Sauvignon Gris. Drink from 2027-2031.
