| | Tasted by yelnak on 6/25/2016 & rated 89 points: Melon and pear on the nose, with citrus/grapefruit and floral notes. On the attack green apple accentuates the long finishing grapefruit backbone with touch of leechi and tar oil note. Good acidity throughout. (702 views) |
| | Tasted by wconnolly on 5/21/2016 & rated 89 points: Still my favorite Sauvignon Blanc. Crisp, flavors of grapefruit, melon and peach. The right amount of acidity offers a little backbone. Very nice bottle of wine. (770 views) |
| | Tasted by Rich Storm on 4/16/2016 & rated 90 points: - Yellow color and aromas of grapefruit, apricot and apple. It's in total harmony and has flavours of cut green grass, grapefruit and peach with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a medium finish. (705 views) |

| | Tasted by cos65 on 11/22/2015: Lightly zesty grapefruit flavors. Finishes a bit short and not as appealing as the Naudet Sancerre tasted along side, but fine enough (884 views) |
| | Tasted by Mike Kopanski on 9/12/2015 & rated 91 points: This is the kind of Sauvignon Blanc that earns 91 points. The first sniff tells you this is super serious Sauvignon Blanc. There are aromas of honey baked apple, white flowers, citrus, and grass. Small amounts of barrel fermentation, and large amounts of generous lees stirring bring a healthy viscosity and mouth feel. Absolutely no sweetness. Full malic acid crispness. A hint of apricot and tangerine with the lemon, gooseberry, grapefruit, pineapple, and ripe pear. Delightfully seamless. (909 views) |
| | Tasted by Vasily on 7/8/2015: Clear, bright, straw. Pineapple, grapefruit, and some spice. Nicely balanced. Crisp finish. Excellent with red snapper. (993 views) |
| | Tasted by smphelps on 3/15/2015 & rated 87 points: Light pale gold. Nose tinged with green grass, lemons, bean sprouts. A slight spritz. Pleasant lemon/lime tartness, but relatively straightforward and direct. Medium finish with more grapefruit than lemon. (1217 views) |

| | Tasted by mdmcgonigal on 10/25/2014 & rated 88 points: Winery tasting. Very grassy, crisp nose. Grassy flavors and apple. Tart, reminiscent of New Zealand. (1068 views) |
| | Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 10/19/2014 & rated 89 points: Dinner with Friends (Shaker Square): $42 off the list at Fire. It took about 20 minutes to open as it warmed. The nose is slightly grassy with a bit of tropical fruits and lemons. Nice, slightly oily texture. Nice balance. Good fruit on the palate. Solid finish. Reasonably food friendly. Very good if not great. (1260 views) |
