“Fresh and lively, it delights with its delicious fruit, silky texture, and refreshing quality. This is a traditional vineyard blend, but with younger vines—a deliberate choice. It can age until the end of the decade, but I wouldn’t be surprised if many want to drink it right now. ” (The Wine Advocate 2022)
