Jon Steeves rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Pale straw with very slight pink hue. Declared 12.5% ABV. Crisp, tight, tangy and tart. Beautiful bouquet, medium bodied, great acidity, well balanced and integrated. Lemongrass, green apple, guava, with a hint of blood orange with minerality. Complex and great value. Pair with sushi, Asian fusion, summer salads or baked filet of sole. Tasted May 2017. 91 points.

Julian Park rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A soft bouquet of stone fruit, lemongrass and mint with mineral characteristics from the soil where grapes were grown that give the wine clean, fresh flavours and a long finish.

Matt Steeves rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Pale straw with a faint pinkish hue, with inviting aromas of sweet stone fruits, guava, citrus, and lemon grass. Very well balanced, with a texture that’s both creamy and refreshing complete with baked orchard fruit on the finish. A gorgeous wine to enjoy with grilled fish or spicy Asian cuisine, with a splash of lime juice applied to the dish before service. Enjoy while listening to Vivaldi Summer – the flow of that classical music complements the texture of this fine wine with a blend of intensity and soothing elements showing its multiple facets and ability to pair with a wide range of dishes. Tasted May 2017. 90 points. Matt Steeves – www.quercusvino.ca

Winemaker’s Cut Sauvignon Blanc 2016, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia BC V.Q.A., Canada: Gorgeous tropical fruit and smoke on the nose of this rich and almost full-bodied BC Sauvignon Blanc. More akin to Californian Savvys than to New Zealand. Pair with rich seafood dishes. Drink: 2017-2019. 12.50% D 750 mL $19.99 Score: 92/100. June 15, 2017 Top Rated White Wine. Full Review
