Allen Meadows - Score: 91-93 (2020 June)

A restrained, and notably floral nose combines notes of apple, citrus zest and a wisp of mineral reduction. The palate impression of the middle weight flavors is relatively precise and especially so in the context of what is typical for the 2018 vintage while offering evident minerality and salinity on the balanced bitter lemon-inflected finish. This will need to add depth to achieve the upper end of my predicted range, but it may well do just that.
