"85% fermented in oak, 13% new, the rest in concrete; 40% of the wine went through malolactic fermentation. Bright yellow. Aromas of apple, stone fruits and spices. In a rather powerful style, but offers a nice balance of lemony fruit, spices and lively acidity. Finishes dry and firm. Still a bit shy, this wine should be held for a year. - Stephen Tanzer"

"Pale, bright yellow. Slightly high-toned nectarine and apple on the nose. A dry, fresh midweight with orchard and stone fruit flavors leavened by floral and mineral nuances. Less dominated by its alcohol than the winery's Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc/Muscadelle blend in 2015. The firm finish displays a lemony element. - Stephen Tanzer"

"This wine is a bit reductive out of the gate, opening to reveal aromas of pear, peach, melon, lees and spice. The palate is creamy and textured in feel. If the aromas come together, it could move up a notch."
