Limpid straw. Ripe citrus and orchard fruit aromas show excellent clarity and pick up smoky mineral and honey nuances as the wine opens up. Broad and fleshy on entry, offering juicy nectarine, pear, Meyer lemon and honey flavors that firm up slowly on the back half. Finishes impressively long and silky, with building minerality and a strong snap of ginger that lends spicy bite. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, May 2020)
