Acclaim
“Classic varietal scents of gooseberry, tomato leaf, cut grass and a touch of tropical fruit lead the nose. The tangy palate offer white peach, pink grapefruit and mineral alongside zesty acidity.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Apr 2016
“The 2014 Sauvignon is green, grassy and herbal in style, with solid overall balance for the vintage. Some rough edges remain, but there is enough depth to support 6-12 months of good drinking.”
— Vinous, May 2015
