Enjoyed this one. Straw colored. Some tropical fruit bites. Smoot and light with a hint of floral-honeysuckle? Hope to visit the vineyard someday. Would definitely drink again. — 13 hours ago

Interesting wine. Medium bodied with a lightly tannic finish. Not a lot of fruit - just kind of soft and silky. Hints of earth and wood. I, personally, preferred to sip it without food. Found it it be astringent and almost sour with dinner. My rating is an 8.3 but others loved it and gave it an 8.8. — a month ago

Had the 2025 in July of 2026. Honeysuckle and lychee on the nose and tongue. Lots of tropical fruit overtones made it seem lightly sweet. Would drink again. — a month ago

Had the 2025 in August of 2026. Some peach and lemongrass. Pretty earthy for a sauv blanc. Was almost a little “buttery” which surprised me. Enjoyed this one with a tarragon cream sauce but did not pair well with the caprese we started with. Was interesting to try something new. — 5 days ago

Had the 2025 in July of 2026. Not a bad Costco wine. Minerality, citrus overtones and a medium body. Some of the classic Sauvignon Blanc characteristics but slightly sweeter and softer. — a month ago

8.4

Was an interesting wine. Had a little fruit- more like tart red cherry and a hint of oak and grass. There was a little bit of a sour note in the middle that was a little off putting. Wished I had a charcuterie board with this one. Might have been a better pairing. — 14 days ago

8.4

Had the 2023 in July of 2026. Lots of fruit- super jammy. Lots of black cherry and plum and fig. Tastes a bit like the oak flavor was added rather than sitting in oak. Wasn’t terrible-wasn’t great. — a month ago

Loved this one. Tropical fruits with a hint of minerality. Canada vs South Africa in a World Cup dinner. Poutine and Tussock Jumper. Totally enjoyed this wine. Straw colored without a lot going on on the nose. But all of the tropical fruits, floral notes and a little bit of minerality kept it grounded and well balanced. Will be looking for this one again. — 2 months ago
