This bottling from three vineyards employs 14% Picpoul to add acidic heft to the formula, which checks off so many white-wine boxes. Aromas of sliced peach, coconut and macadamia nut are cut by crushed stone and chalk on the nose. The palate is rounded in salted peach and melon flavors but remains vibrant in acidity and firm in texture long into the finish. —M.K.
What We Thought: Spicy floral notes on the nose lead to a smooth, lightly creamy palate of ripe pear and apple fruit with notes of vanilla and a stony underlying minerality.
