Acclaim
“Pleasingly plump and juicy, this medium-bodied white offers a tangy mix of Meyer lemon peel, apricot, blanched almond and fresh chive flavors, with a stony undertow.”
— Wine Spectator, Apr 2021
“Apricot, apple and white-peach aromas with a hint of ginger, too. It’s full-bodied with beautiful concentration of fruit and lightly minerally, spicy undertones. Steely and intense, like cru Chablis.” 
— James Suckling, Nov 2020
