- 94 DECANTER Jonathan Cristaldi (01/2024): „Super expressive nose of white peach lemongrass, orange blossoms and vanillin. Terrifically rich from lees ageing, with supple fruit redolent of citrus, pear, and yellow apple. Intensely mineral-driven on the medium to full-bodied finish, with chalky crushed stones framed by racy acidity, which resolves through fresh floral and honeysuckle notes. Quite delicious. Whole-cluster pressed, barrel fermented and aged sur lie in 19% new French oak for five months. 2024-2028“
- 92 Punkte, James Suckling: „A layered and creamy white with melon, apple puree and hints of kiwi. Medium body, creamy, and lovely al dente finish. Just a hint of sweetness. Drink now.“
Bewertungen für den Jahrgang 2019:
- 92 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Erin Brooks: „The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc opens from youthful yeasty tones to fresh citrus and green tropical fruits. The medium-bodied palate is notable for the intensity of its spicy fruits and bright freshness, and it finishes with an anchoring touch of texture. 10,500 cases produced.“
- 93 Punkte WINE ENTHUSIAST, Virginie Boone: „The producer's perennially favorite white shines again in stone fruit flavors—a mix of apricot and sweet peach. Tropical companions in the form of pineapple and banana add weight and richness, contributing to a creamy, lush palate of goodness and grace.“
- 94 Punkte WINESPECTATOR, MaryAnn Worobiec: „This white offers a complex mix of lime sherbet, makrut lime leaf, lemon curd and orange blossom flavors that are fragrant and complex on a fleshy, succulent frame, with notes of nectarine and ripe Crenshaw melon. Harmonious, with a fresh thread of acidity on the finish. Drink now. 10,000 cases made.“
- 93 Punkte VINOUS, Antonio Galloni: „The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc is a jewel of a wine. Bright, aromatic and chiseled, the 2019 bristles with energy. This translucent Sauvignon Blanc has so much to offer. Lemon confit, white flowers, crushed rocks and mint extend the intense, mineral finish beautifully.“
- 93 Punkte INTERNATIONAL WINEREPORT: „Aged for 4 months sur lie in 18% new French oak barrels, this gorgeous Sauvingon Blanc is fresh and lively on the nose with none of the extreme gooseberry notes that can possibly turn people away from this variety. Fresh aromas of creamy lime parfait, lemon curd, vanilla wafer and a touch of wild mint form the nose. The palate also has a yummy creamy lemon pudding characteristic with additional notes of white peach, yellow pear, and sweet baking spices. Admittedly I don’t gravitate towards Sauvingon Blanc when reaching to drink a wine, but I would purchase this bottle on any restaurant list I find this summer. 10,000 cases produced.“

Notizen des Weinguts: | We are excited to announce that this inviting new Sauvignon Blanc contains 60 percent of our own estate fruit. Even though the Meredith and Maefield vineyards were planted recently, in 2015, they are producing delicious fruit in abundant quantity! Sauvignon Musqué makes up 42% of the blend; the balance is the Shenandoah clone. The wine was fully barrel fermented in Tonnellerie Cadus barrels, 18% new. Lees stirring was then done twice weekly for six months, building luscious body. The aroma of this wine is compelling, virtually reaching out and grabbing our attention. Yellow peach, melon, guava and crisp Fuji apple are accented with hints of tropical mango and pineapple. Lime, Minneola tangelo and orange blossom lend citrus notes. Accents of dry summer grass, vanilla-toned panna cotta and toasted crème brûlée create complexity. An underlying minerality adds further sophistication. The rich palate coats the tongue balanced with hints of yummy Creamsicle and Ruby Red grapefruit. Refreshing acidity and a mouthwatering finish cap the sensual experience of this exceptional Sauvignon Blanc. Delightful now, with bottle age, this wine will be a knockout! My good friend Chef John Ash, the Godfather of Wine Country cuisine, created Kaffir Lime and Coconut Soup with Black Cod as an homage to his favorite fish. The combination of Kaffir lime and coconut milk with the slightly spicy broth makes an outstanding pairing with our 2018 Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoy! |
