Wine Spectator

Fleshy peach and star fruit notes give this a lush, generous feel, which is reined in with flinty mineral notes and washed in saline. Zesty toward the finish, which is mouthfilling and clean, with hints of blanched almond, smoke and lime peel. Shows complexity. Drink now through 2029. 1,200 cases imported.
