93 points James Suckling: "Pure aromas of lemon confit, poached Asian pears, pastry and lanolin. The palate is medium-bodied with focused acidity and a creamy texture, giving notes of lime curd, orange blossoms, yellow apples and flint. Very well constructed and polished. Drink or hold. (12/20/24)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "[$76 list] Elegant and fragrant up front, with notes of orange blossoms and ginger paste alongside fleshy, juicy flavors of ripe melon, peach, apricot and fresh lemon zest. Accents of smoked sea salt and fennel pollen linger on this white's sleek frame. Drink now. (7/31/25)"

Fermentation: 89% barrel, 11% tank; no ML. Aging: Aged sur lie in French Oak Barrels, medium toast (45% new, 55% once used)."
