Publication Score Comments
Wine Spectator 89 "Vibrant and expressive, this exudes terrific, fresh notes of grass, jalapeño and cut herb, highlighting the juicy lemon, lime and grapefruit flavors."
The Washington Post NA 3 STARS *** From the warmer climate of New Zealand’s North Island, this wine shows ripe fruit that reminds me of some Napa Valley premier sauvignon blancs that cost much more. Simply terrific.
