| Robert Parker Jr. said of this wine: \"...It offers attractive notes of melon, fig and caramelized citrus, and has a texture more akin to Chardonnay than Sauvignon...This is a top flight Sauvignon Blanc to drink over the next several years.\" suggesting a drinking window extending to 2019. (robertpaker.com, Dec. 30, 2016) TASTING NOTE: Fragrant and succulent, with melon, lime and passion fruit flavors accented by spice and orange sherbet hints. Features a smooth, supple frame and juicy accents. Drink now. Score - 90 (MaryAnn Worobiec, winespectator.com, Nov. 30, 2016) |
