Wine Advocate review:
The 2008 Sauvignon Blanc has a vivacious, grassy nose, clean and crisp with zesty green lemon. The palate is medium-bodied, very well balanced with light apple and gooseberry flavors coming through. Again, just that hint of green lemon with nice poise on the natural finish. Very well crafted and should drink well over 2-3 years.

Michael Cooper review:
Hand-picked, it is lees aged in tanks, with no exposure to oak. The 2008 vintage is mouthfilling, with good weight and depth of vibrant, ripe, limey, slightly leesy flavours, fresh acidity and a smooth (4.8 grams/litre of residual sugar, finely balanced finish.
