Tasting Panel, 93 Points 

"A luscious array of lemon custard, salted melon, lime blossom, and vanilla bean. Acidity strikes a pose, allowing the richness of pear tart to show its leaner nature. Delicious and complex." 

James Suckling, 91 Points 

"Generous aromas of lemon confit, grilled pineapple, toasted nuts and brioche. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with bright acidity and a creamy texture, giving flavors of grapefruit, lime curd and salted popcorn. Nice freshness from blocking some malolactic fermentation." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Drawing from 50 years of the Cakebread family's winemaking experience and selecting grapes that reflect the unique personalities of their regions, Bezel crafts quality, fruit-forward wines to elevate your everyday wine drinking occasion.  Aromas of lemon zest and white peach with subtle notes of sesame seeds and a mouthwatering acidity."
