| Awards & Reviews: |
"There was a touch of sulphur when last tasted, but this is well structured in a ripe style (more like pinot gris than grigio), with peach, honey and bread crust. Mid-weight, with fresh, lemony acidity and a slightly bitter finish."
Score: 85
David Lawrason~Toronto Life 2009 Guide to Eating + Drinking
"Wine with a happy face, even a little richness. Refreshes at first, then invites relaxation and food. Really good company. Flag this for Christmas, and all family celebrations."
