($7). We tasted this in
San Francisco and really liked it. It
is just bursting with refreshing citrus
and kiwi fruit, with appealing herbal
grassy notes. Clean and bright. Not a
spot of oak to be found. Pure fruit goodness.
Ready to drink now. (ETFOFW 08/02)
($13). Balanced
and crisp, with tropical and light citrus
fruit, mineral and grassy notes. Ready
to drink now. (Bargain Wine, 02/03)
($12). Absolutely crazy about this Sauvignon
Blanc, Semillon and Chardonnay blend --
quite possibly the new "house "
white here at the Wine Skinny! Crisp and
refreshing and perfect on a hot day --
juicy, fragrant lime and lime zest runs
throughout a pretty mix of apple and white
nectarine, and stone notes. Really appealing
and ready to drink now. (Weekend Wine

($15). Exuberant apple and citrus fruit
race around the palate, picking up touches
of pineapple, mineral and grassy notes.
A fun wine. Ready to drink now. (Bargain
Wine, 02/03)
($20).
A lithe blend of Semillon, Chardonnay
and Sauvignon Blanc, offering juicy apple
and hay character laced with citrus and
fresh herbal notes. Ready to drink now.
(Splurge Wine 02/08)
($20). Really liked
this blend, with its fragrant grapefruit
and juicy apple and pear flavors that
pick up spice and herb accents. Appealing,
lingering finish. Very refreshing. Ready
to drink now. (Weekend Wine 08/05)
($8). Easy-going, with clean
pear, melon, and citrus fruit along with
simple grassy notes. Ready to drink now.
(ETFOFW 08/02)
($8). Lively mix of juicy lime and smooth
pear, with subtle but complex earth and
grass notes. Ready to drink now. (ETFOFW
08/02)
($20). Pungent and herbaceous, but balanced
against lush tropical fruit and refreshing
citrus. A complex wine, with an evolving
finish that picks up a touch of gunflint.
Ready to drink now. (World Wide Wine 01/05)
($30). A delicious, complex
Sauvignon Blanc that earns its lofty pricetag,
with elegant layers of aromatic citrus,
lychee, subtle green herbal notes and
a dash of mineral character. Concentrated,
long finish. Ready to drink now. (Weekend
Wine 04/08)
($17). Refreshing lemon and lime fruit
are balanced with smooth, light pear.
Nice acidity and appealing herbal notes
on the finish. Ready to drink now. Food
pairing: Chicken Satays with a coconut
and lemongrass dipping sauce. (Weekend
Wine, 08/03)
($17). I had just read a brief article
on this Australia winery the evening before,
and then this wine appeared at the tasting.
So I'll admit that I may not have gone
into this one totally "blind"
to its merits. But still. This is truly
outstanding! Concentrated and focused
fruit include bright pear and apple, with
just enough citrus, vicious acidity, and
subtle grass and herbal notes. Ready to
drink now. Probably my favorite wine of
the weekend. (Weekend Wine, 06/02)
($17) This wine was terrific and a great
choice for the impending warmer Spring
weather. Supple pear fruit balances with
citrusy zip and a touch of herbal grassiness
to make a thoroughly enjoyable wine with
a solid finish. Ready to drink now. (Weekend
Wine, 03/01)
($20). Nice price on a single vineyard
wine (Lusatia Park Vineyard), offering
tight acid supporting fresh flavors that
include citrus, gooseberry and pea shoot,
with a clean, flinty finish. Ready to
drink now. (World Wide Wine 01/05)
($10). Fresh and green,
with juicy tropical fruit and interesting
accents that include sweet pea and clover.
Refreshing and easy to drink. Ready to
drink now. (Weekend Wine, 03/03)
($10). Really good, with zingy lime zest
and juicy citrus acidity balanced with
round, mellow pear. Good length. Mouthwatering
total package! Ready to drink now. (Weekend
Wine, 01/04)
