winemaker's notes:

Number 12 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007!

Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2006!

Color: Pale straw with touches of green.

Aroma: Classic Sauvignon characters of cut grass and tropical fruits are dominant on the nose.

Palate: Unfolds with flavors of passionfruit, gooseberry and subtle herbaceousness. The wine is mouthfilling with good texture and finishes well with cleansing acidity and great length.

Food Match: Ideally suited to asparagus, oysters and summer salads.

Cellar: A wine to drink now and, with careful cellaring, will last up to five years.

I would buy this wine again

This crisp, light wine is the drink of choice for both my wife and I. Not only is it the best white wine we have ever had for less than $50, but it can be had for less than $20. Combine the price with the critical acclaim it has received and you have a no brainer for a relaxing Sunday afternoon or Friday night party.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
Organically Grown Grapes

Collectible wine
Collectible
