Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

2015
If the 2015 Gran Reserva Sauvignon Blanc is an expression of Leyda Valley's terroir then I hope they have given a good percentage of production over to Sauvignon Blanc! You would be hard pressed to identify this as an outlier from a lineup of premium New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. It is all there... intense aromas of green grass, lemongrass and yes.. cat pee.This medium weight wine is smooth and balanced.All the promise of the aromas carry through to the palate and are complemented with a taut salinity. A respectable and haunting finish. If you see this on a restaurant wine list snap it up. We can only hope it makes it way to the LCBO shelves one day as well. Tasted November 2018

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.
