"Light yellow-gold. Ripe pit fruits, lemon pith and chamomile on the deeply perfumed nose, along with suggestions of honey and fennel. Pliant and broad in the mouth, offering juicy white peach, pear nectar and Meyer lemon flavors that become livelier on the back half. A subtle mineral note builds steadily on the energetic finish, which leaves a hint of bitter pear skin behind." (JR in Vinous)
