Sauvignon Blanc Wine

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: From the beautiful, historic site planted to some of the oldest vines of the variety in Northern California, this delicious white explodes in juicy green apple and an intensity of fresh-squeezed lemon. That succulence...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: The aromas to this great white show wonderful sherbet, limes, green melon, salt and honey blossom. Full to medium body, with a vertical, compact fruit presence, firmness and great length. Such energy and intensity with...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A piercing rapier of a wine, with a dry, chiseled feel to the flint, chalk and chive notes that remain steely and focused through the finish. A light verbena hint echoes at the very end. Drink now through 2021. 510 cases...

jamessuckling.com, 90 points: Very elegant fresh white flowers with dill. Rich texture and nice candied lemon undertones. Short. Drink now

Decanter, 94 points: A harmonious and balanced style with a high level of fruit concentration on the silken mid-palate. A more restrained style than you might anticipate from New Zealand, but this is the windy Wairarapa providing its own...

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: A blend of 68% Sauvignon Blanc and 32% Semillon, the 2017 Les Lecons Des Maitres reminds me of a Haut Brion Blanc (it really is that good) with its crushed citrus, tart pineapple, white flowers, and salty minerality. Racy...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Vivid and distinctive, with passion fruit, lime and Meyer lemon flavors that mingle with details of honeysuckle and lemon thyme, finding harmony on the refreshing finish. Drink now. 7,845 cases made. — MW

Vinous, 93 points: Lemon confit and a host of floral overtones give the 2015 Chardonnay Ellen Lane Estate quite a bit of freshness to balance the natural richness of the year. In this vintage, the Ellen Lane is a bit more voluptuous than it...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Aromatic and distinctive, with rich notes of honeycomb, coconut oil and lanolin that give way to fresh apricot and mango flavors, freshened by a crisp jolt of acidity akin to a squeeze of lime juice. Despite the lush...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Smooth and succulent, offering ripe pear, yellow apple and peach flavors that are bright and crisp on a juicy frame, with a hint of Key lime pie lingering. Drink now. – MW

Vinous, 93 points: Tenuta dell'Ornellaia's 2014 Poggio alle Gazze is bright, focused and finely cut. Lemon peel, white flowers, chalk, sage and mint are beautifully delineated. The cool, late vintage produced an unusually acid-driven...
