Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (91): Tangy and enveloping, this savory, medium-bodied white has inviting aromas of Spanish broom and ripe pear with yeasty whiffs of bread dough. On the fresh, succulent palate, notes of fennel and white almond accompany grapefruit and white peach. Vintage: 2019
