Critics Ratings

'It has a gorgeous, very pure bouquet with honey, mandarin, orange peel and a touch of peach that is incredibly detailed. The palate is viscous, beautifully balanced and perhaps the purest that I have tasted since their debut in 2008. Layers of honeyed fruit infused with orange zest and mandarin, razor-sharp definition on the finish that has electricity flowing through it. Stylistically equidistant between a fine Sauternes and Tokaji, this might turn out to their best Straw Wine to date.' – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 96/100 (Oct 2014)

'Made from 100% air dried Chenin Blanc, this is a remarkably well-balanced, knock-your-socks-off effort, loaded with lush, seductive notes of honey-drizzled apricot, peach preserves, baked apple, orange oil and honeycomb. It's full and unctuous, but not flabby, with beautiful lifting acidity that keeps the palate fresh. The long, sticky finish boasts a gorgeous, honeyed spice flavor. It's delicious now, but it's also a wine that will easily age another decade or more.' - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 95/100 (Dec 2014)

'Unctuous and intense, with maple, date, dried orange peel, clove, cardamom and singed ginger notes all coursing along, backed by a hint of green tea on the finish. Chenin Blanc. Drink now through 2025.' – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Feb 2015)
