Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Howling Bluff Estate Winery 2017 Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon is subtle with dried pineapple, guava and grassy aromas on the nose. This Bordeaux-style white Meritage is dry and elegant with white florals, dried pineapple, melon and a finesse of citrus zest lingering on the palate. So easy to enjoy. Chill and enjoy on its own or pair it with sweet chili sautéed Argentinean shrimp.

Tasted December 2019.
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Lovely! Aromas of soft white floral blossoms, peach, lime and green melon. Light, with medium+ acidity, and a slight zest on the palate. Vibrant and bright, this wine has me envisioning afternoons on a patio sharing a laugh with friends. Enjoy with light seafood appetizers.

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.
