TASTING NOTE: This bold white marries expressive flavors to a muscular texture. Pear and quince notes mingle with brioche, chamomile and dried pineapple details, with juicy acidity and light tannins lending support. Lively now, this should harmonize with time. Drink now through 2024. Ranked #62 in the Wine Spectator 2016 Top 100 Smart Buys. Score - 91 (Thomas Matthews, winespectator.com, Dec. 15, 2016) |
