"Elegant and complex, the 2011 Sauvignon Blanc has an unbelievably inviting bright acidity which matches well with its crisp minerality. On the nose, be ready for citrus and fresh cut grass- reminiscent of a lazy summer afternoon. Alluring apricot and apple flavors coat the palate, while subtle citrus and delicious minerality stream along the sides of the tongue; its seamless flavors carry through to the finish."

"An initial impression of rich, buttery cream quickly turns to aromas of honey and lightly toasted almonds, followed by tropical aromas of pineapple, citrusy lemon and crème brulee. The wine is refreshing on the palate, with a minerality that is both bright and clean, drawing you into a vibrant tartness and lemon zest that is absolutely, positively Bonterra Chardonnay, vintage after vintage."

"Sweet ginger spice on the nose. Ripe apple and spice flavors show good intensity and cut but are dulled by a faintly resiny character, no doubt from oak. Finishes with a touch of dryness. I wanted a bit more fruit." -Stephen Tanzer
