With pert acidity and candied pineapple and lemon flavors, this wine has the taste of a sweet-and-sour cough drop. It straddles the line between dry and off-dry. — (9/1/2012) —85

Halleck is establishing a solid track record with this wine for New Zealand-style Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is bone dry and ultra-crisp, with racy flavors of gooseberries, green apples, tangy minerals and Asian spices.——S.H.(5/1/2008)—— 90

This is a very fine Sauvignon Blanc. It reminds me of Rochioli’s, so ripe and complex in apple, peach, citrus and melon flavors, although this one’s sweeter. A touch of oak adds smoky cream and vanilla. For the technically minded, the acidity is 7.7 grams per liter, which is quite high for a California wine.——S.H.(6/1/2007)—— 91
