88 points and 'Best Buy,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$10 list] This is a large-production Sauvignon Blanc that tastes delicious. If you like grapefruit and pomelo flavors, you will love this enticingly priced white that’s got razor sharp acidity, a touch of New Zealand-like grass and a long finish. Alcohol 13%. (Oct 2012)"

Producer notes: "100% Sauvignon Blanc, primarily sourced from Lake County. Fermented in all stainless steel tanks; extremely long and cold ferment allows for the fragrant and big fruit flavors to be appreciated. The crisp acidity is retained and then rounded out and complimented by a broadened mouth and ever-slight sweetness. Tasting notes: A mouth-watering, vivid style; this wine explodes with delicious flavors of passion fruit, guava, quince, lime peel; with an intensely grapefruit nose. Alcohol 13%."
