Winery review: "90 points, Stephen Tanzer. Pit and orchard fruits on the highly fragrant nose and palate. At once fleshy and focused, with very good cut and an undercurrent of chalky minerality. Closes firm and long, with resonating spiciness and a refreshing note of bitter quinine.
"
My review: This shy yellow white wine is really great smelling! It's bouquet was quite perfume-like of spices and flowers with perhaps a dash of fruit. It has a nice body and it's flavor profile was quite similar to the winery review! It's minerality was definitely there as it's fruity flavors take much of the spotlight. A solid finish, i'd say.
