Fermented and aged on the lees in French oak barrels. · Moderate golden yellow color and clear in the glass. The aromas of apple, baking spice, lemon curd and nut spread draw you into the glass. Fresh and possessing noticeable bounce, with a delicious blend of apple, pear and citrus flavors underpinned with steeliness and salinity. Beautifully balanced, clean and bright, with a refreshingly juicy finish. I like this wine for its freshness. It seems to call out, “Drink me!” Score: 93. Reviewed March 12, 2016 WINERY » ARTICLE »
