| Description: | 92 pts Decanter 2/22/21 The Smart Buy Classic lifted, pungent aromas of freshly cut grass and herbs, with an exotic lemongrass twist. These follow through on the lively palate, joined by mouthwatering lemon, lime and grapefruit with a pop of pea pod. A barrel fermented and lees-aged component (30%) and splash of Semillon (7%) enhances structure and texture, with talc and asparagus nuances. Versatile and food friendly. 91 pts Wine Spectator 10/15/20 Fresh and succulent, with complex and generous flavors of peach, dried pineapple and lemon sherbet. The finish is crisp and harmonious. 90 pts Wine Enthusiast 10/19/20 In typical Leeuwin style, this Sauvignon is approachable—but not simple—textural and exuberant. Ripe and fruity, it bursts from the glass with aromas of peach, pineapple and lemon, backed by grass and white spice, particularly as it warms in glass. The slippery palate shows off more lemon peel and white pepper flavors, with a citrusy zing right through to the finish. 90 pts James suckling April 2020 This has a bright array of fresh peaches and melon with more tropical notes, too. The palate offers a sleek, crunchy feel with vibrant, attractively focused fruit flavors. |
