95pts, Wine Enthusiast Wine Enthusiast Editor’s Choice & #40 of Top 100 Wines of 2017
Aged for over 8 years in French oak to add nutty & toffee notes to the orange-rind, floral, & dried peach flavors.
“What a rare, complex & spectacular wine. Well-aged & fortified wines like this are uncommon in California, but this full-bodied & very sweet example proves it’s possible. It has gorgeous aromas of apricot, honey & toasted nuts followed by expansive, ripe-&-spicy fruit flavors transformed by the aging process. The mouthfeel is lavish & full, enabling a wonderful finish that lasts for minutes."
Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast
