BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Mild, youthful pear-and-soap nose; muted. Fresh, crisp palate, better than the nose. 84

Anthony Rose: Pale lemon in color, a tad shy on the nose, expansive citrusy mousse on the tongue, which is zesty in a sherbet-lemon sort of way, while the zesty mousse just starts to fade on the finish before the flavors build. 86

Tom Stevenson: Fine, yeast-complexed fruit aromas give way to classic, lean-structured, yeast-complexed fruit on the palate. 90
