| Highest Score Review Copy | Bosc pear, golden apple and wild field grass aromas lure the nose that situates itself on a foundation of morning-dew-dusted forest floor and white tea. The palate echoes the nose in equal intensity with a streak of hay and dried lemon peel filling out the chalk-dusted, lingering finish. - Anna-Christina Cabrales |
