Reviews
"
Notions of sun-warmed straw, dried corn husk and Mirabelle plum come together on a subtle nose. The palate of this wine adds ripe yellow-apple accents with mellow freshness and more of that hay note. Lovely citrus freshness and harmonious balance enhance this subtle, quiet but convincing wine."
