Intoxicatingly aromatic from first pour, this wine lets loose with bold and harmonious notes of spiced pear, honeydew melon, crystalized ginger, ripe white peach, vanilla toast, and white rose. The palate sings out in unison as the wine instantly fills all corners of the mouth, unctuous yet balanced, with a slight acid uplift adding flinty minerals, sweet cream, Meyer lemon, and honeycomb to the ensemble. – Jordan Fiorentini
