94 Points! Lemon cheesecake, floral, and spiced apple cider aromas escape from the glass at the first swirl. Higher tones of tropical fruit and citrus rinds become prominent as the wine opens up. The wine is bright and refreshing on the entry, yet the lush texture and minerality on the finish is the hallmark of this wine. Cantaloupe and green apple flavors give way to a crisp, clean finish of pear and toasted pine nuts.
