Acclaim
“Elderflower, tomato leaf and citrus aromas delicately float out of the glass on this fragrant white. On the elegant linear palate, bright acidity accompanies juicy grapefruit, white peach and honeydew melon alongside a hint of wild herb. A tangy mineral note signals the close.” (Editors' Choice)
— Wine Enthusiast, Sep 2018
“Light-bodied and lithe, this mouthwatering white offers a pretty mix of nectarine, fresh herb, wet stone and Meyer lemon peel notes.”
— Wine Spectator, Nov 2018
