Points: 91
Rating: Stars

Fermented in stainless steel tanks, with 40% of the wine then transferred to used French oak barrels for three months): Pale gold. Lively, mineral-tinged aromas of pink grapefruit, green apple, nectarine and chamomile, with a gingery topnote gaining strength with aeration. Palate-staining citrus and orchard fruit flavors show very good clarity and power, with a hint of tarragon building on the back half. Finishes spicy and chewy, with strong mineral-driven persistence. 91 Points
