A nice, fairly rich wine made from this classic blend of two varieties. It’s dry and crisp, with zippy citrus fruits made more complex with notes of peaches and pears and a touch of spicy vanilla.——S.H.(10/1/2010)—— 86

This full-bodied wine is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. It has a creamy texture and is a little heavy. The flavors are of apricots, lemons and limes.——S.H.(5/1/2009)—— 84

A mild-mannered wine that sports a subtle, mineral-like core framed in hints of citrus, melon and herbs. Moderate length at the end, with a tangy edge. ——J.M.(6/1/2004)—— 86

Heavier and denser in every respect than the regular Sauvignon Blanc, this wine, a 60-40 blend with Semillon, is also strongly leesy. The citrus flavors hit the palate with a strong dose of rich sour cream notes. The wine is dry and practically cries out for garlicky dishes. ——S.H.(7/1/2003)—— 89

Oakier than the regular bottling, with smoky, woodsy sap and vanilla highlights underlying citrus and crisp pippin-apple flavors. It's full-bodied, dense, a wine more suitable for food than a cocktail. Finishes stylishly dry.——S.H.(12/15/2001)—— 88
