Acclaim
"Plenty of dried peaches to this white with a mineral undertone. Full body, bright acidity and a crisp finish."
— James Suckling, Mar 2015
BEST BUY: “Yellow peach, green apple, Bartlett pear and lemon zest lead the nose. The rich, supple palate is brightened by crisp acidity.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Jun 2014
