Ortiz Brown Likes this wine: 90 points
April 18, 2021 - Very, very pale straw in the glass with a reticent nose of green apple. On the palate the wine features flavors of pear, citrus, honey. There’s a hint of oak, probably from used barrels, though Goodfellow’s web site doesn’t provide any details for this particular bottling. There's a streak of minerality supported with mild acidity to a long finish. Really like this!
