Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A fresh, vivacious Sauvignon Blanc by The Hatch winery. This Screaming Frenzy certainly lives up to its name with spirited notes of flinty passion fruit, pink grapefruit, and perfumed white peonies. Typical green notes of asparagus or grassy cat’s pee aren’t found here - instead there’s a keen, distinct element of fresh chives and basil leaves peeking out. Flavours impart luscious Granny Smith apples, passion fruit and creamy guava notes at the back with a dynamic pomelo citrus medium finish. Acidity is refined and perfectly proportioned with a heavier body and a decadent oily mouthfeel, which allows its' fuller body to come through, adding more weight. This will accompany a variety of foods very well but can be perfectly enjoyable on its own. Try a pairing with a marinated seafood salad or herbed chicken. This would also be a fine match for veggie burgers. - tasted September 2018 @HatchWines
Colin McKone rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Pale straw in colour with aromas of apricot, lime, passion fruit and pear. It is light bodied with mouthwatering acidity and has flavours of lime and peach that leads into a long cirtus finish. This will pair well with soft cheeses, asparagus or seafood. Tasted on September 16, 2018.
Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This is a fantastic sipper for the patio or a large plate of cold seafood. Mandarin orange, citrus blossom, lemon, gooseberry, Asian pear. 89 Points.
