Greg Hughes rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Really crisp and enjoyable. People are now appreciating the diverse climates that not only deliver superb conditions for red, but also cool climes for aromatic whites.
Leyda lends itself well to Sauvignon Blanc. Along with Beaujolais, this valley/region has some decomposing granite. The vines dig deep, get excellent drainage, and pick up fantastic aromatics.
Pale lemon-green colouration.
Served at a tasting, almost everybody described a spicey and unmistakable jalapeno note, right off the bat. There are also some crunchy green fruit: pear, apple, quince, guava, and melon. Citrus oil when it was at room temperature, as well.
The flavours are very zippy and mouthwattering. Lime, melon, green pepper, celery, lemon basil, and pie apple.
This would be odeal with seafood, such as ceviche made with red snapper and served with roasted corn kernels.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
