 90 Points   Intriguing nose of candle wax and honeydew melon with a hint of vanilla spice in the background.  A medium-bodied, intense wine with excellent balance and a long, pure finish. This outstanding effort is likely to evolve for several years but can be enjoyed now.

An underlying minerality… loaded with lovely acid and fruit, and a hint of toastiness in the finish. About one third comes from 25-year-old vines, some of the state’s oldest sémillon.
