Acclaim
A mineral, textured wine, peppery and tightly wrought with distinct acidity over the green fruits and vivid acidity. The wine is full, but powered by acidity to keep it crisp.
— Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2010
Full bodied, displaying rich flavors of gooseberry, lentil and ripe ruby grapefruit. The luscious finish features hints of white chocolate.
— Wine Spectator, Mar 2011
