93 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "[$55 list] A blend of two-thirds Sauvignon Gris and one-third Sauvignon Blanc, the 2023 Elevage Blanc is fermented and aged in equal parts new French oak barrels, used barrels and stainless steel "barrels." Scents of pencil shavings frame ripe fig and pear notes on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is round and generous, soft and silky in feel, gliding to a gentle, citrusy finish. Drink: 2025-2030. (2/27/25)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "Shows plenty of personality, with a smooth, supple texture and a juicy thread of acidity that are a wonderful backdrop for the flavors of dried pear, jasmine, white nectarine and green tea. Offers a drizzle of wildflower honey and a hint of oatcake on the finish. Sauvignon Gris and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now. 684 cases made. (8/31/25)"
92 points James Suckling: "The nose is discrete and minerally, with aromas of crushed stones, nectarines and lime zest. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh acidity, showing notes of orange blossoms, honeydew melon and lemon pith. A blend of 66% sauvignon gris and 34% sauvignon blanc. Drink or hold. (9/16/24)"
92 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2023 Elevage Blanc is a blend of 66% Sauvignon Gris and 34% Sauvignon Blanc. Notes of waxed lemons, fresh limes, and green apples spill from the glass, followed by hints of dill seed and wet slate. The full-bodied palate delivers an alluringly oily texture and racy backbone to match the intense citrus fruit flavors, finishing long and chalky. Alcohol 14.5%. Drink: 2025-2028. (2/6/25)"
