"Lovely flavors and texture grace this white. Peach, citronella, apple pie, clove and nutmeg notes mingle with a creamy feel, as this glides to a lingering finish. Give it six months or so to integrate more fully. Best from 2011 through 2018." 90 Points - Wine Spectator

"A broad, spicy wine, ripe with plenty of sweet mango and peach fruits to go with the green fruit acidity. It is already delicious but will develop further over the next 2–3 years. " 90 Points - Wine Enthusiast
