Bunker Hill has a richer texture in 2017, with lemon peel, savory and saline elements. The aroma is of white flowers and lemon peel. There is a fresh fruit quality of lemon and quince with alternating flavors of lemongrass, honeycomb, dried chamomile, and herbs quite nuanced. It has a mouth-filling texture, great tension, acidity, perfect ripeness and a mineral, lemony finish. Enjoy this with salmon and beurre blanc, flavored with Herbs de Provence or lemongrass and ginger. It also pairs well with classic lobster sauces, chicken with a morel cream sauce or halibut with a lightly herbed lemon butter.

 

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Despite rather low finished alcohol, this is a fully ripened and complete wine. Spicy pineapple, bright citrus and a touch of white radish flavors combine through the midpalate, and aging in 20% new French oak rounds out the finish.

 

92 Points - Wine Spectator

Svelte and elegantly polished, with sleek layers of apple, lemon curd and spicy lees that glide effortlessly on a lingering finish.
