Jon Steeves rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

An approachable new world Sauvignon Blanc from Chile. Tasting Green melon, lime. Low acidity and structure which may appeal to some. Good value option for a patio summer sipper or cottage lover. Tasted July 2017. 86 points
Monique Sosa rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Aromatic and easy drinking. A light refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with notes of pear, citrus blossom, and guava. Flavours showcase citrus and a (different) chamomile ice tea note. One thing that stood out for me was the lack of acidity and lack of a mouthwatering finish. Tasted July 2017 by @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
Melanie Aubert rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Smells remarkably like a New Zealand sauvignon blanc (tropical fruit like passion fruit, green apple, pear, honeydew melon and grassy notes), even though this wine comes from Chile’s Leyda Valley. Super pale straw colour and medium-bodied with good acidity. In terms of food pairing, it is surprisingly versatile. Who knew a wine like this could go with pizza? The acidity played off the zing of the pepperoni for a mini party in my mouth. Fun!
