92 points/'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$25 list] From the cool, coastal Awatere Valley, this layered, textural Sauvignon demonstrates the power of a good vintage and of paying a bit extra for Marlborough Sauvignon. Sure, it's a touch reductive at first, but give it some swirls in the glass and it reveals layers of flavor, from lemon peel and lime leaf to fresh passion fruit, green tea and dried tarragon. The mouthfeel is creamy but buoyed by mouthwatering acidity. Highly food-friendly with the capacity to age until 2026.Alcohol 13.5%. (May 2022)"
90 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "Bursting with passion fruit and hints of snow pea pods, the 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is a strong effort. Assertively flavored with plenty of intense tropical and citrus notes, it's medium-bodied and lightly textured on the palate with a lingering, refreshing finish. Drink it over the next year. Drink: 2021-2022. (Apr 2021)"
