James Suckling, 91 Points 

"A fresh, restrained and textural white that has aromas and flavors of apricot, crushed stone, salted almond and white grapefruit. It’s medium-bodied with a chalky mineral finish. Drink now. Screw cap." 

Wine Spectator, 90 Points 

"Poached pear, Fuji apple and pineapple notes are fresh and juicy on a medium body, with orange blossom, candied ginger and lemon drop hints. Shows firm acidity and a toasted sesame seed detail on the finish. Vermentino and Grenache Blanc. Drink now." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Aromas of white flowers, lemon zest, and grapefruit.  Crisp and refreshing, with flavors of Meyer lemon, white peach, and a hint of almond.   Bright and crisp Rhône-style white blend, no oak or malolactic fermentation."
