Acclaim
“This certainly heads into very ripe territory on the nose, but it makes up for that with the wealth of aromas it provides, which range from passion to jack fruit to bananas to candied citrus and then straw. Full-bodied and very intense with lots of cooked-apple and clove undertones. Long and phenolic on the finish.”
— James Suckling, Jun 2019
“A creamy, medium-to full-bodied white, loaded with anise, cardamom and nutmeg notes, showcasing a spicy thread that winds through the Jonagold apple, hazelnut and lemon curd flavors. Sleek acidity keeps this fresh and focused through to the stony finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Oct 2019
