Wine Spectator scored this 91 points saying "A tightly knit white, with a racy backbone of acidity and an aromatic overtone of fresh chive blossom accenting the mouthwatering range of apricot, Meyer lemon peel, pineapple and chalk flavors. Drink now through 2024."

James Suckling scored this 93 points saying "Lots of stone, white pepper and bitter lemon aromas and flavors. Medium body, oily palate and a flavorful finish. Drink now."
