Quotes
John Shreiner-"a crisp, fresh wine, more in the style of the mineral-driven Graves wines than in the over-the-top grapefruit of New Zealand." 87 points
Julie Pegg-Eat Magazine-"The Sauvignon Blanc, in my view, has become a benchmark for this varietal in the Okanagan. It's lush complexity and hint of lime in the finish, courtesy of a dash of semillon."
Daenna Van Mulligen-Wine Diva-Wine Scores-"as good as ever, aromas of citrus blossoms and peachy/pineapple notes with plenty of minerality and secondary green aromas of grass clippings and snap peas. It has a lovely rounded edge to it and a mouth-watering finish."
