Score 92/100 · Drink 2020-2030, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Feb 2025

The 2018 Illumination features a hint of honey on the nose, joined by citrus pith, lime and grapefruit. Despite some evident evolution, this medium-bodied wine is still fresh and zesty, accentuated by mouthwatering brininess.

Ripe citrus with sweet oak influence. Muscular, yet with excellent refinement to the fruit and juicy, long, powerful persistence. Certainly shares much of the complexity of great white bordeaux, although the ripe fruit could only be Californian. (RH)
