“Bright and aromatic, with jalapenos, white pepper, lime zest and grapefruit on the nose. The palate is mid-weighted with crisp acidity and a smooth texture, giving flavors of citrus, green apples and wet stones. Fresh and varietal.”  –James Suckling, October 2025

“Hitting just the right balance between freshness and depth of flavor, this is very skillfully styled Sauvignon Blanc. Although it was made entirely in stainless steel tanks, the warm California sun imparted ripe aromas and flavors balanced between zesty citrus notes and warmer tones recalling tropical fruits along with a soft flavor akin to lemon curd.”  –The Tasting Panel, Winter 2026

91 POINTS
“Focused aromas of papaya, chopped herbs, jalapeño, and pithy lime jump from the glass on the nose of this wine. The palate feels surprisingly rounded and juicy, with flavors of apricot, pineapple, and ginger mingling with flowers, spice, and pithy lemon peel through the finish.”  –Wine Enthusiast, Best of Year Issue Buying Guide, December 2025

“This Sauvignon Blanc is medium-bodied but full of energy, with classic flavors of melons and citrus fruits enlivened by energetic acidity that never turns too tart. Aromatic hints of dried herbs provide varietal character, and it could pair beautifully with a host of seafood or poultry dishes.” – The Tasting Panel and Somm Journal 2023
