Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Love the white florals on this 2020 Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon blend from Tightrope. So subtly fragrant with summer-kissed white florals of lemon blossoms and a mid-note of mock orange and jasmine. On the palate the wine is dry, medium-bodied with ripe peaches, light gooseberry, lemon tart, pink grapefruit, dried fine herbs, dried chives, ginger, and white pepper spice perfectly balanced with medium-plus-acidity and a long crisp lemony, chalky mineral finish. Chill and enjoy this graceful and elegant Semillon, Sauv. Blanc on its own, or pair it with seared tuna steaks. Tasted July 2021.

The grapes for this vintage were sourced from the Thomas Vineyard - Tightrope Estate on the Naramata Bench. The Sauvignon Blanc was destemmed, crushed, then pressed, while the Semillon was whole cluster pressed.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
