Reviews and Ratings

Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A wonderful example of a beautifully crafted aromatic Sauvignon Blanc from California. The palate is powered with pungent ripe grapefruit, lemon and lime with an inviting herbaceous undertone and lingering lemon on the finish....you keep wanting more - scrumptious!
Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Red Hills region in Lake County, California, the wine grapes for Vigilance 2016 are grown at elevations between 1,400 and 3,000 feet at the base of Mount Konocti. the Red Hills AVA features rolling hills, red volcanic soils, and enjoys cooling breeze from Clear Lake, one of North America’s oldest natural lakes. Wine juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at 55°F (13°C) giving this Sauvignon Blanc a green apple crunch, citrus and guava flavours on the palate. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
