Rated vintages

  • 201282 pts

    Tropical fruit aromas are the lead-in, but upon airing the wine's pineapple and mango scents turn austere and prickly. The mouthfeel here is astringent and acidic, and the flavors are briny, even pickled.

    The apple and peach aromas are not forced, oaky or heavy. It feels closed up, without much weight, body or texture, and tastes narrow and citrusy, like apple juice. The finish is short and tangy.

    Tropical and zesty on the nose, with a big shot of lemon blossom and a secondary note of melon. The palate is juicy, fresh and sort of lean, with lemon, pineapple and green apple flavors. Arguably tart and angular, but at least it's clean and crisp.
