Structured white with a lemon curd and orange peel character. Full and juicy, with a savory character and a dense structure. Serious. 67% Sauvignon Blanc and 33% Semillon. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
A creamy white, with verbena and sweet pea notes buried in a core of white peach, pineapple and grapefruit pulp flavors. The long, talcum powder–tinged finish sails on nicely. This lovely white has weight, but stays refreshing. Tasted non-blind. James Molesworth, WineSpectator.com
