Girard

A very clean, fresh and crisp Sauvignon Blanc; Lush aromas of pineapple, guava and banana on the nose, while the palate exhibits fresh-cut grapefruit and tangy lemon zest. A wonderful apéritif wine that pairs well with lighter white fish, green salads and goat cheese.

Wine Enthusiast

Bone dry and zesty in acidity, with pink grapefruit, lemongrass and green apple flavors that have a honeyed edge despite the dryness. Vibrant and clean. Nice with a salad of bitter greens and chevre and whatever else you want to add, in a simple vinaigrette.

Score: 90. —Steve Heimoff, November 01, 2009.

Wine Spectator

Ripe, succulent melon, peach, apricot and nectarine flavors are light-bodied, yet wonderfully fleshy and spicy, with fragrant orange blossom highlights. Drink now.

Score: 89. —MaryAnn Worobiec, August 31, 2009.

Wine Advocate

The crisp, grapefruit, citrus-scented and flavored, fresh, lively, mid-weight, super-dry, stainless steel-fermented and aged 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is best consumed over the next year.

Score: 87. —Robert Parker, August 2009.
