San Francisco Wine Panel 91 Points
Dense in fruit, zesty and counterpointed by drying minerality, the nose of this dinner-worthy bottling offers aromas of lemon oil, pineapple core, guava and honeydew melon that rise above a chalky undercurrent. Honey, lemon and pineapple core flavors dominate on the palate, where baked apple, nut husk and mineral suggestions add balance and depth. The finish lingers attractively and the wine is ready to enjoy, with food, or by itself.
