Producer notes: "The aromas are fresh and enticing with bright citrus layers supported by subtle undertones of papaya and green mango. On the palate, the tropical notes come to the forefront with rich, lush layers of guava, passion fruit and lychee, as well as hints of herbs and lemon zest. 76% Sauvignon Blanc, 24% Sémillon. Alcohol 13.5%. 15% barrel fermented in new French oak. 5 months sur lie."

Wine Spectator: "Apple blossom, pear and tangerine flavors are at the core of this wine, with a nice acidity to give the flavors plenty of intensity and freshness. Drink now. (8/31/12)"
