Expert Reviews

90 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2011

(14.9% alcohol):  Bright, pale yellow-gold.  Aromas of lemon drop, citrus blossom and fresh herbs.  Juicy, intense and light on its feet, with a strong floral character providing lift to the flavors of lemon, apple and spices.  Just a touch of alcohol on the back end.
