Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points

This wine is generous on the nose, with vibrant Meyer lemon, ripe white peach, and yuzu aromas. Medium bodied and lifted by bright acidity, flavors appear quite focused on the palate. Notes of green pear, white peach, and chamomile unfold, finishing with firm limestone minerality adding complexity. Approachable now and quite delicious. -A.C.C.
