Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Fresh and fruity, this sauvignon blanc has lots of citrus and tropical fruit on the palate. It is crisp and refreshing, and versatile enough to have with many different types of foods - not to mention a great value!
reviewed this wine as follows:

Dominant aromas of juicy grapefruit, fragrant citrus blooms and ripe apricots are finely balanced with black currant undertones and cassis. Its crisp, fresh, dry and concentrated flavors are well balanced concluding in a rich, lingering finish.

Darlene Myers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Clean and crisp, this light bodied Sauvignon Blanc had aromas and flavors of green pepper, lemon and lime. It's elegant with beautiful acidity. A great wine to compliment sole or cod, and a wide variety of grilled vegetables. A Sauvignon Blanc is a clean light wine that will go with many foods.
Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Citrus, honeydew and asparagus flavors integrated with good acidity.
Lee Newby reviewed this wine as follows:

Grape Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Very good wine with fresh lime and grapefruit over sweet garden herbs and touch of lemon grass. The fruit has medium plus concentration and intensity. The acidity is medium plus and the balance gives a medium plus finish. The wine has good structure and complexity. Drink now and for 2-3 years.

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.
