"I’ll preface this review with the knowledge that taste is subjective. It may be award winning, but for me, this wine gives me the sense of drinking liquified grass clippings and peaches as it first hits your taste buds and nasal passages. It does finish nicely, though."
"A great value, worthy of enjoying every day and appropriate for casual dinner parties too."
"Fine, servicable. Crisp."
"Best whites"
"Excellent wine"
"Not high on my list of favorites, but totally ok on a hot summer night on the patio. Too much citrus for me."
"Wonderful wine! I just ordered another case! Hope it ships soon. Love the woody taste and light finish. Perfect for summer."
"Absolutely love the crisp citrus taste and dry finish"
"refreshing"
"This wine is unique in that there is a discernible punch of grapefruit and lemon that instantly wakes up your senses. Some sauvignon blancs are more grassy/herbal but citrus is the star here. Decent body and sufficient fruit that it isn't too tart. What a pleasant surprise!"
