#34 - Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2020

Wine Enthusiast
(4/1/2020) "Pronounced aromas of toasted nuts, singed orange rind and baked apple lead the nose of this enticing and rich-smelling wine. The palate is medium in weight and offers more of those same ripe and spicy tones balanced by medium acidity. Notes of pie crust and toasted apple carry the lingering close, with an additional kiss of orange rind. Editors' Choice."

Wine Spectator
(4/30/2020) "Expressive and profound, beautifully balancing oak and fruit and floral flavors. Notes of apple, mint, heather and butter mingle in harmony, supported by vivid acidity. Picks up a bit of crunch toward the long, mouthwatering finish, adding to the interesting texture. Best from 2022 through 2032. 2,500 cases made, 1,009 cases imported."
