winemaker's notes:

We have 90% of Sauvignon Blanc in our blend, nearly undetectable when blind tasted because of the age of vines. We also have a secret weapon: 5% of Sauvignon Gris, that forgotten varietal with different levels of aromas: first grapefruit, then peaches, apricot and white flower, and a fresh minerality on the finish. That type of grape also helps the wine to age beautifully, adding some spices to the finish and some structure to the wines.

critical acclaim:

"Range: 94-96"

The Wine Advocate

"Bright, pale yellow. Knockout nose offers lemon drop, pineapple, white flowers and minerals. Dense, lush and sweet but leavened by piquant acidity; offers a rare combination of silky volume and inner-mouth energy and perfume. Lovely intensity of lemon and pineapple flavor. Finishes quite firm, even a bit youthfully bitter, but with terrific length and lift. I can't recall a more promising white wine from this property. Range: 91-94"

International Wine Cellar

"Delivers loads of dried fruits, including apple, lemon and melon, with a hint of vanilla. Full-bodied, with layers of ripe fruit, along with a subtle richness and underlying structure. Lovely acidity keeps you focused and interested. Drink now. 3,000 cases made."
