93 points James Suckling: "Generous aromas of preserved lemons, flint, grapefruit and brioche. The palate is full-bodied with a creamy, medium-bodied mouthfeel and bright acidity, giving flavors of yellow apples, sliced pears and baking spices. Well balanced, with underlying power. Drink now. (1/28/25)"
90 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$50 list] Lush aromatics of mixed citrus and buttered brioche join flavors of baked apple and pear with spices. A pleasing smoke accent follows the energetic length of the wine. Alcohol 13.6%. (Oct 2025)"
Producer notes: "Grown in the cool Carneros conditions that maintain excellent balance between fruit characters and acidity in grapes. We ferment and age this wine in French oak barrels, and leave it on the yeast lees for months to enhance texture and complexity. Floral aromas mingle with fresh citrus, orange blossom, and white peach characters, and the palate is weighty yet balanced, with a mouth-coating texture and a clean, mineral finish."
