LCBO Note Status Recommended by Vintage Assessments!
TASTING NOTE: Veteran Kevin Judd has turned out another fine effort. Passion fruit and pea tendril aromas impart a welcome green edge that's never overwhelming, picking up layers of white grapefruit on the plump, medium-bodied palate. The finish is intense, long and citrusy. Editors' Choice. Score - 91 (Joe Czerwinski, Wine Enthusiast, July 1,2017) Price $ 24.95
