BUY THE WINE

Jamie Goode | Linear and bright, with nice focus to the restrained white-peach and pear fruit. There’s a vivid citrus drive to the palate. Crisp, direct, and refreshing. | 88

Peter Richards | Very pale. Engaging aromas of fresh apricots and peaches. Succulent palate, good mouth-filling fruit flavors, but also well-centered with some refreshing acidity here. This is a really well-made Voognier, in a fresher style than some classic iterations, but all the more drinkable and moreish for it. Fruit-forward but elegantly textured, deftly handled. Very satisfying. | 91

David Williams | Pretty white-peach and subtle white-flower aromas, this is Viognier in fresh and focused mood, although the quality of the fruit is lovely: pristine, very attractive and drinkable. | 89
