95 points James Suckling: "A very attractive nose of lemon sherbet, rosemary, fresh thyme and grated nutmeg. Medium-bodied and silky. So fresh and seamless on the palate with subtle tannins. Chamomile and wet stone. Subtle, nuanced and delicious. An elegant sauvignon blanc. Drink or hold. Screw cap. (12/11/22)"
95 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Falstaff): "Slightly smoky notes surround the cut grass and lime freshness on the nose but a creamier notion also suggest the emollience of aloe vera. The palate is a textural dream, concentrated, yeasty, with a hint of green hazelnut. Bright lemon freshness pervades everything and silhouettes every nuance of flavour. Beautiful. (7/27/22)"
92 points/'#82 Enthusiast 100 2022,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$31 list] Indigenous yeast and old oak barrels add a richness and complexity to this Sauvignon. It's pale straw in color, with a reductive notes of nuts, charred toast and lemon pith, the grass and herbal notes taking a back seat. The palate is ready in texture, buoyed by crystalline acidity. There's length, balance and a long lemony finish. A solid pairing with rich, herb-flecked dishes. Alcohol 13.5%. (Oct 2022)"
Producer notes: "Imagine a summer fruit salad of honeydew melon and ripe, golden quinces – drizzled with citrus flower water and a squeeze of orange skin oil. A delicious floral fragrance and juicy tropical fruit, infused with a fennel-like herbal thread and a faint whiff of wood smoke. Fermented entirely with naturally occurring yeast, this is an alternative style of sauvignon blanc that is both intricate and textural, with a rich, succulent palate finishing crisp and long with a flinty dryness."
