93 (2021) Wine Spectator -

There's a touch of grilled peach, smoky litsea oil and salted caramel up front in this distinctive white, which gives way to ripe Fuji apple, pear and buttery shortbread notes, plus hints of limoncello and orange zest that add complexity. The supple, smooth texture is enhanced by fresh acidity and emphasized by the long, lingering finish. Drink now. 100 cases made.

93 (2022) Sommelier's Choice Awards -

Aromas of ripe orchard fruits and hints of vanilla lead to a palate of rich buttery texture, balanced by crisp acidity, finishing with lingering notes of toasted oak and citrus zest.

95 (2023) James Suckling -

A richly flavored yet linear and nicely tensioned wine that combines gorgeous, succulent poached pears and toasted almonds over an elegant texture and a medium body. Integrated acidity and lovely length in the finish, with delicious mineral, marzipan, ginger and nutmeg flavors. Drink now or hold.
