BUY THE WINE

Victoria Daskal | Confected, sweet fruit aromas. Quite rich, with a ripe fruit sensation. Pleasant enough, but lacks definition, complexity, and finesse. | 79

Jamie Goode | Fresh, pure, and expressive, with nice tension and hints of grapefruit freshness, as well as broader pear-fruit characters. Very pretty, with a nice delicacy and weight in the mouth. | 92

Andrew Jefford | Silver-green: very visually restrained. A pretty, light, sweet little thing aromatically, but without a lot of scented focus or poise. Tangy and light on the palate, and a little mono-dimensional. For me, this is a range extender; I don’t get any sense that the variety is insisting on its right to be grown just here. | 79
