Critics Ratings
‘A light whiff of brioche weaves around a core of plantain, macadamia nut and lemon zest flavors, followed by a honeysuckle hint that chimes in on the finish.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Oct 2012)
‘Full bodied yet still fresh and vibrant, this is a blend of 30% each Bourboulenc, Marsanne and Viognier, plus 10% Clairette. Hints of lemon curd impart a lovely texture, while the aromas and flavors lean toward pineapple, melon and citrus.’ - Joe Czerwinski, Wine Enthusiast, 91/100 (Sept 2014)
