Holly scored this wine: 95/100

This crisp white wine is full of tropical fruit and lychee on the nose. Nice soft acids, mango and green melon on the palate. For my full video review, please go to: http://winewithme.ca/the-diary/?category=Sauvignon+Blanc

Holly scored this wine: 90/100

I didn't have the 2007 vintage, but the 2010 vintage was GREAT! Nice reddish/brown in colour, dark fruit like black cherries and dried prune on the nose. On the palate, lots of dried prune, raisins mixed with dark cherry. Very rich in flavour and not a lot of tannins. Silky, soft and full of flavour.
