該酒尚未成熟，比較生澀，帶著酸酸的醋栗、薄荷腦和青胡椒子的香氣和風味。評分：82。

Dry and crisply acidic, this wine shows racy tropical citrus fruit, gooseberry and green grass flavors. Benefits from some barrel-fermented Semillon that adds a desirable creaminess and nutty, buttery richness. The result is wonderfully drinkable.——S.H.(11/1/2010)—— 90

When Bernardus gets Sauvignon Blanc right, which they did in this vintage, they avoid those notorious feline aromas and go straight toward fruit. This is such a wine. It flatters the mouth with Meyer lemon cream, pineapple tart and vanilla flavors, accented with minerals and richly edged with crisp acidity. With a bit of buttered toast from partial barrel fermentation, it’s just delicious.——S.H.(10/1/2009)—— 90
