Essi Avellan: Pale lemon color. Nice, toasty overtones on the mild white fruit and red-apple nose. Promising. Sweet, easygoing palate. Silky and succulent. Not that complex but pleasant and fruit-forward. | 89
Simon Field: A flamboyant and resourceful wine; red-fruit charm aplenty, taut and uncompromising acidity perfectly well balanced, sugar not overworked, by no means overwhelmed by complexity but a well-honed commercial example of the varietal. | 89
Tom Stevenson: Lovely and clean, straight, solid, yeast- complexed fruit but for drinking now. | 85
