Critics Ratings

'Firm and smoky, with ripe and juicy Honeycrisp apple, mango and raspberry compote flavors, layered with rich hints of pastry and salted butter that linger on the well-cut finish. Drink now through 2020.' - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Jul 2015)

'Vinous, saline nose. Yeasty, mealy palate with crunchy green-apple fruit and a smoky aftertaste with pert acidity on the finish leaving a crisp savoury length.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Sep 2019)

'(50% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Meunier; 6 g/l dosage): Light yellow-gold. Bright citrus and orchard fruits on the fragrant nose, with hints of jasmine and chalky minerals building in the glass. Plush and seamless but focused too, offering sappy pear and nectarine flavors and a hint of bitter orange zest. Turns firmer on the incisive finish, which shows suave mineral and floral character.' - Josh Reynolds, Vinous, 91/100 (Jan 2015)
