"Straw-gold. Peach and apple aromas are lifted by floral and stony nuances. Fat, creamy and full, with sweet apple and spicy oak flavors given shape by nicely integrated acidity. Not especially complex, and a tad warm on the back end, but shows good tactile persistence. - Stephen Tanzer" - Vinous (December 2014), 89 pts
"Ripe, supple and seductive, with a spicy edge to the creamy pear and honey flavors, coming together with a hint of clove on the finish. Drink now through 2018. 330 cases made." - Wine Spectator (Web Only 2015), 89 pts
"This wine brings aromas of pineapple, lemon drop, chamomile tea and custard to the bouquet. The flavors are ripe and full, showing a sense of texture and weight followed by a persistent finish." - Wine Enthusiast (November 2015), 91 pts
"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" - Vinous (November 2015), 89 pts
"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" - Antonio Galloni's Vinous (November 2016), 88 pts
"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." - Wine Enthusiast (September 2017), 88 pts
