90 points Josh Raynolds (International Wine Cellar): "[$20 list] Pale yellow. High-pitched, mineral-driven aromas of lemon zest, talc and spearmint. Taut and juicy, showing citrus fruits, a hint of green apple and strong minerality. Picks up deeper melon and pear character with air and finishes dry and persistent. I like this wine's linear character. (Jul/Aug 2011)"

90 points and 'Best Buy,' Wine & Spirits: "[$20 list] Deceptively simple in its clean, spicy line of flavor, this young semillon buzzes with beeswax, orange, lemon, grapefruit and litchi. It's bright, airy and refined, a white that will respond generously to bottle age. (Oct 2011)"

Producer notes: "As always, a beautiful colour with luminous greens. Distinctive Hunter lemongrass/straw aromas as a young wine. Sweet fruit flavours initially on the palate indicating perfect ripeness at harvest and in fact a bit riper than usual. Excellent acid structure, long flavours of lime and apple blossom. Perfect in its youth and a wine that will bottle age gracefully."
