- Score: 91 Vintage 2020 Vinous Media The 2020 Kerner seduces with sweet tropical florals, along with notes of kiwi and peach sun tea. Its silky textures give way to ripe orchard fruit laced with sweet citrus, all energized by juicy acidity. Nuances of sour melon and pretty inner florals linger incredibly long, as it tapers off with mouthwatering freshness. This wonderfully balanced and inoffensive Kerner keeps me coming back to the glass for more. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
