2003 Sauvignon Blanc
The Wine Advocate, Robert Parker

The 2003 Sauvignon Blanc, which ranks among the finest made in California, if not the New World, exhibits an extraordinary bouquet of citrus oil, honey, and Japanese green tea. The texture is exceptional, yet the wine is light on its feet and dry, with loads of fruit, beautiful glycerin, and a wonderful tactile mouthfeel. Long, honeyed, and exceptionally elegant, it can be enjoyed over the next 1–2 years. 92 Points (February, 2005)

Wine Spectator, James Laube

Subtle and intense, with a deft touch to mineral, orange zest, fig and lemon-lime nuances. A floral character accents citrus, vanilla and honey flavors that wash over the stylish finish. Drink now through 2006. 1,400 cases made. 90 Points (July, 2005)

International Wine Cellar, Steve Tanzer

Cool aromas of lemon, lime, mint and spring flowers. Supple, rich and harmonious, with a pleasing mouth feel and nicely integrated acidity. Offers a harmonious chorus of bass notes and high tones. Suave and flavorful sauvignon, with a suggestion of licorice on the firm, persistent finish. 89 Points (January/February, 2005)
