Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

80/20 Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon. The Savvy dominates the nose, typically fresh, not too far either way in terms of ripeness. It is not overly grassy and green, nor is it tropical and flat, but brimming with citrus, grapefruit, apple, and pear, and accented by melon. The Semillon is not a huge part of the nose now, but I could see a little kernel and nut appearing with age. Four to six hours of skin contact helped to extract just a hint of grass and herbaceous styling. Crisp, dry, and ideal for a grilled chicken salad.
Linda Mertes WSET 2 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

From Niagara, this medium-bodied white wine is a blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon. Herbal and grassy aromas with apple and stone fruit on the palate. The Semillon contributes to a higher viscosity to the wine and with the acidity, this White Meritage is very smooth for being extra dry. The finish is bright, pairing well with seafood and fish.

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.
