Acclaim
“A creamy white, focused by well-cut, juicy acidity, this offers a fine array of Gala apple, crunchy pear, lemon zest and ginger flavors. A stony undertow defines the finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Aug 2014
BEST BUY: "“Warm with stone fruit flavors, this is also tart with peppermint and honeycomb floral scents. A soft and gentle white.”
— Wine & Spirits, Aug 2014
