Feels like a crisp, silky Sauvignon Blanc, with citrus, lemongrass and mineral flavors and brisk acidity, but much richer due to the addition of tangerines and butter-creamy peaches. A nice appetizer wine for things like mushroom-filled pastries, goat cheese and salumi plates.——S.H.(5/1/2010)—— 87

The wine is totally dry and racy in acidity, with complex flavors of citrus fruits, peaches, apricots, grapefruits and peppery spices. What a lovely, savory wine to drink with just about everything from mussels to grilled swordfish to roasted chicken.——S.H.(9/1/2008)—— 88

Try this next time you’re looking for something rich like a Chardonnay, streamlined like a Sauvignon Blanc, but different. It has the creamy opulence of Chard, with honeyed melon, pineapple and peach custard flavors. Yet there’s firm acidity and a minerally core that gives the wine backbone.——S.H.(2/1/2007)—— 90

This up-and-coming varietal triangulates between Sauvignon Blanc’s citrusy, acidic sleekness and the richer, fruitier flavors you find in Alsatian whites. It’s a pretty wine, crisp and oak-neutral.——S.H.(11/1/2003)—— 86
