Score 92/100 · Drink 2020-2026, Josh Raynolds, Oct 2020
Light, glistening yellow. Ripe citrus and orchard fruits on the fragrant nose, along with hints of jasmine, vanilla and dusty minerals. Fleshy and focused on the palate, offering juicy pear, Meyer lemon and pineapple flavors supported by a core of juicy acidity. Shows fine definition and spicy lift on a long, silky finish that echoes the pear and floral notes. 20% new French oak.
