Wine Critics Notes:
Vinous Comment - Score: 94(2018 May)
Light bright yellow. Powerful, mineral-driven orchard and pit fruit aromas are complemented by hints of lemon curd, iodine and pungent flowers. Intense, palate-staining pear, nectarine and Meyer lemon flavors show excellent concentration and focus, and a candied ginger flourish adds spicy cut. Spreads out steadily on an extremely long, floral-tinged finish that emphatically echoes the pit fruit and mineral notes.
