Proprietor Gerard Perse has backed off on the barrel fermentation and wood aging a bit, and the result is a more well-balanced, less over-the-top and exotic style of wine. Fresh melon and green apple notes intermixed with hints of mango and pineapple, zesty acidity and subtle oak all make for a delicious, full-throttle wine. Anticipated maturity: now -2018. Score: 92 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2012-2018 01 March 2012 |

Fresh and intense with notes of peach and oak. Not your typical Sauvignon! Peachy, soft and round. Score: 89 - 91 Albany Vintners, - 01 April 2010 |

Superlively with green apple and lemon rind character that turns to lime. Medium-bodied, with clean and fresh fruit and a long finish. Score: 88 - 91 James Suckling, Wine Spectator 01 April 2010 |

Stinky paint-like aroma, round texture and quite rich. Not stupendous though fuller and fatter than most dry white bordeaux. Lots of weight. Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2014-2018 30 March 2010 |
