Wine Advocate, 91 Points 

"The 2019 Assyrtiko shows a bit more perfume than previous vintages, including some floral notes alongside lime and green plums. It's medium-bodied, with a slightly grainy, rich texture and a long, crisp finish." 

Wine Spectator, 90 Points 

"Lemon curd, saline, fresh ginger and honeysuckle notes are intense and vibrant, with a wonderfully succulent texture, crisp acidity and terrific focus on the long, expressive finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Clear, palest straw color in the glass. The wine opens with citrus rind, lemon blossom and a lick of wet slate on the nose. This wine has a sense of purpose in its line. Clean mineral, white floral and nice texture through the mid and back with the classic saline edge to finish. Screaming summer drinking, the finish is clean and refreshingly long." 

Alcohol: 12%
