Acclaim
Intense apricot jam on the nose. Creamy, sweet palate showing good acid and a balance with long finish.
— Decanter, Oct 2010
[F]lows with rich, honeyed passion fruit, ginger, spices, and lime zest, all of which come together in a style that is at once rich yet light on its feet. The wine reveals terrific density and volume with great overall balance.
