Wine Critics Notes:

Allen Meadows - Score: 93 (2020 June)

I had the chance to revisit this and it showed much better after a year in bottle than it did when I originally reviewed it last year. The barest whiff of the exotic sits atop the nose of white peach, green apple, petrol and plethora of citrus aromas. There is fine volume and punch to the caressing yet powerful flavors that exude noticeable salinity on the dry, youthfully austere and compact finish. This isn't quite as dense as its 2018 counterpart but it's more classic in style.
