Nicely framed with toasty oak and pastry accents, this rich white exhibits peach, apple tart and grapefruit flavors. An underlying mineral element emerges as this plays out on the finish.

"Apricot, peach, lemon, mineral and spice aromas and flavors are buoyed by vibrant acidity in this well-delineated white. Turns more elegant on the finish, where the oak spice accents persist. Drink now through 2033. 110 cases imported."
— Bruce Sanderson, 2025
