Rated vintages

  • 201586 pts

    Coming from a warm region in a hot vintage, this wine leans into the tropical with aromas of kiwi and mango, with herb and citrus notes providing accents. The flavors are lean and tart, with the concentration light.

  • 201488 pts

    This has lively, very varietal aromas of kiwi, grass and pineapple. The palate is fleshy in feel with rich fruit flavors, tart acids and a Key lime finish.

  • 201390 pts

    With alcohol in the low-moderate range, this immaculately fresh wine is flush with juicy gooseberry and grapefruit. It carries the varietal hallmarks of fresh herbs, notably chive, and a balancing lick of minerality.

  • 201088 pts

    Lightly grassy and pleasantly fruity, this mingles kiwi, melon and apple with notes of fresh herb. The flavors are fresh and balanced, with just a small percentage of the fruit fermented and (briefly) aged in new American oak.

  • 200785 pts

    This is a good, every day effort, much like the baseline Ste. Michelle Sauvignon Blancs. Lightly grassy, lemony and tart, it is an all-purpose quaffer.
