91 points Wine Spectator

This wine comes from old vines with the Robert Young clone. The nose imparts aromas of peach, pear, granny smith apple, and honey with undertones of sweet barrel spices. These flavors follow through on the palate along with apricot and caramel and a slight touch of minerality finishing with undertones of nutty bread and butter. Great texture and bright acid make this a food friendly wine or one to just sip and enjoy.
