Acclaim
[T]he 2006 Sauvignon is the best of the bunch. It exhibits an intriguing counterpoint of varietal aromatics and rich, honeyed fruit, with notable length on the palate and terrific balance.
— Wine Advocate, Oct 2007
Subtle aromas of peach and apple follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with plenty of good fruit and a long, fresh finish. Balanced and delicious.
— Wine Spectator, Nov 2007
