Tasting Panel, 93 Points 

"A stunning lesson in subtlety from Rutherford. Pale straw yellow color with a slight green tinge, youthful, vibrant, fresh, with excellent purity. Layered notes of citrus rind, passion fruit, lychee, and basil, augmented by a slight tropical note. Plenty of volume on the palate while maintaining excellent balance with lifted acidity to keep it lively. Entirely from stainless steel. A highly inviting, refined, elegant style." 

James Suckling, 92 Points 

"A profusion of crisp, fresh fruit flavors and attractive hints of minerals give this wine a vital, refreshing expression. A medium body and tangy acidity lift lemons, kiwis and green apples on the palate. Drink now. Screw cap." 

Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points 

"Toasty aromatics are followed by a burst of tangerine and grapefruit flavors. This Sauvignon Blanc is energetic and bright through a moderate finish." 

Wine Spectator, 91 Points 

"Elegant and juicy, offering a mouthwatering core of Honeycrisp apple, lemon and pear flavors, with notes of candied ginger, clementine and guava that linger." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"This Sauvignon Blanc offers incredible tropical notes of guava, passion fruit, and mango upon first swirl. Hints of lemon zest, citrus blossom and honeydew melon balance out the nose, enticing the palate. Juicy, concentrated flavors of white peach and lychee are complemented with a touch of citrus. Rich and round, this wine’s crisp acidity leaves a fresh, clean finish with lingering fruit notes making this a wine you’ll reach for sip after sip."
