"Stylish, with touches of toasted coconut and lanolin, adding richness to the smooth, dense core of dried apricot, melon and spicy poached pear flavors. Finds harmony and a juicy thread of vibrant grapefruit on the finish. Drink now."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 91 Points
"Composed of 54% Sauvignon Blanc, 32% Sauvignon Blanc Musque clone, 12% Semillon and a splash of Sauvignon Vert, the 2016 Sauvignon Blanc leaps from the glass with notes of pink grapefruit, green mango, freshly chopped herbs and chalk dust with wafts of acacia honey and peach blossoms. Medium to full-bodied and packed with exotic fruit, the palate has a lovely suggestion of oiliness and complementary phenolic grip, finishing with a citrusy lift. This wine was all barrel fermented in French oak, 10% new, and aged for eight months. It’s delicious right now but can keep for another 3-5 years."
James Suckling. - 90 Points
"Freshly squeezed lime juice, juniper berries and chopped herbs. Medium body, medium acidity and a fruity finish. Drink now."
