James Suckling (93)

There’s an exotic edge to this with plenty of ripe yellow peaches and spiced custard, as well as sliced-mango aromas. The palate has a very juicy and succulent style with an elegantly smooth, focused finish.

Harvested 24 September 2018 at 21.7 Brix and a pH of 3.06. The wine spent 12 months in 40% new French oak and four months in tank. 250 cases produced. Bottled unfined in February 2020.
Like nothing else I've tasted at this walk-around tasting, green mango and passion-fruit curd, fresh cream on the finish. Light cinnamon spice but really not much, where is that oak hiding? (SCJ)

Wine Enthusiast (93)

Sharp and spicy, this is a pungent wine with a broad streak of citrus. The mix of tart citrus and pungent herb is distinctive and emblematic of the vineyard. Taut and steely, this young wine takes its green berry and apple fruit to another level. Give it generous breathing time to really open it up fully. Paul Gregutt

Vinous (93)

Pale yellow-gold. Fresh honeydew, Meyer lemon, pear nectar, vanilla and toasted brioche on the deeply perfumed, oak-spiced nose. Juicy and expansive on the palate, offering densely packed yet energetic orchard and citrus fruit and sweet butter flavors and a spicy suggestion of ginger. Shows impressive energy and mineral lift on the persistent finish, which features a suave, insistent floral quality. Aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, 40% of them new.
