The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc is gorgeous and distinctive. White flowers, slate, smoke pear, mint and sage all race out of the glass. Deceptive in its mid-weight feel, the 2019 is full of flavor. This super-expressive Sauvignon Blanc will drink beautifully for at least the next few years. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2021)

I was in the mood for Sauvignon Blanc that had more to say for itself than “hi, I’m Sauvignon Blanc” to which I’d theoretically reply “do I LOOK like a Basic B? Huh? Whatcha gonna say about THAT Savvy B?” Kidding, I’d never do that but if I were the type to be so insulting this wine would not bear the brunt of my wrath because it is more than SB spiritually and literally (there’s 8% Sauvignon Gris in the mix). It is understated. Sort of hinting first at greens, then grapefruit and lemons. On the palate it is quite elegant, bringing in honeysuckle and zip. It does a graceful dance over your tongue, a petite allegro but slightly slowed down, not too fast too follow if you happen to be it’s dance partner.
If you like your SB to slap you around and make you say it’s name this may not be your jam, but if you want a little intrigue, this one’s for you.

A Sauvignon blanc that has a little something extra, almost gruner-esque. Citrus and mineral
