Reviews and Ratings

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Soft, delicate aromas of white peaches, yellow golden apples and pears followed by hints of pomelo and grapefruit citrus. Flavours show ripe apples, poached pears, toasted almonds and grilled pineapples. Medium plus acidity, with a buttery, creamy medium plus finish. Pair with mushroom risotto, seafood linguine and washed rind soft cheeses. - Tasted March 11th, 2018
Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Pear aromas with caramel apple and some lemon notes on the palate. Medium bodied with nice crispness throughout. Tasted March 2018 and paired with roast chicken.
Sharon Lécuyer rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Apple and oak on the nose. Medium to full bodied, buttery mouth feel with toasty oak, and a bit of smokiness which isn't overpowering. Flavours of apple, pear with a smooth finish.

Great wine to bring to your next book club as it would please many palettes.
