Decanter, 93 points: Sourced from Laguna Ranch and other sites in the Russian River Valley. Fermented in stainless steel tanks (30%) and barrel-fermented and aged in French oak (49% new) for four months, it balances freshness and richness. Bright and citrus-driven, with cool wet slate and sea grass character, the wine showcases fantastic weight and richness of citrus fruit, underpinned by laser-focused acidity. The palate is crunchy and textural, with green apple skin tannins and crushed Marcona almonds adding depth and complexity.

Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: Savory, salty, mineral aromas lead to a soothing, full body filled out with generous gooseberries, melons and saline accents. The wine shows a spicy oak influence, but retains the grape variety's appealing citrus and fresh herb nuances.
