90 points Wine Spectator: "[$27 list] Stylish, with a pretty floral detail weaving in and out, adding a honeysuckle overtone to the succulent peach, apricot and lemon zest flavors, set on a smooth frame. Spicy accents show on the juicy finish. Drink now. 580 cases made. (5/31/20)"
Producer notes: "75% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% Semillon. The cool sub-zones of the Dry Creek Valley AVA are amazing and you can taste it in this wine. The aromatics begin with candied orange and honeyed fig and then evolve to develop into flavors of bitter orange marmalade, pomelo grapefruit, more citrus (less tropical) notes, a mild grassiness, and a tiny amount of freshly cut dill. A mix of new and neutral barrels add breadth and range while the stainless steel gives a freshness and "pop" of natural acidity. The co-mingling of herbs, fruits, and honey plus the refreshingly crisp palate makes this delightful. Petrale sole would be grand as a pairing as would vegetarian pot stickers or arugula salad with dill goat cheese and raspberries. This Sauvignon Blanc is also tasty with oysters or mussels. There's no doubt in the cellaring potential 2024-2026 so enjoy now and hold some for later. 581 cases."
