The wine is unoaked, but tastes strangely strong in vanilla and buttered toast. Whatever the aging regime, it’s jammy in apricots, tangerines and mangoes that finish sweet and hot.——S.H.(11/1/2011)—— 85

As weighty as a Chardonnay, this is a Sauvignon Blanc whose nuances will be killed if you over-chill it. You could even decant it for a while and let it approach room temperature. Dry and rich, it shows savory, complex tiers of pineapples, limes, green apples, sweet golden tobacco, vanilla, white pepper and even a touch of thyme.——S.H.(7/1/2011)—— 92

A little soft and lacking in crisp vibrancy, but there’s plenty of spearmint chewing gum, pineapple jam and golden mango flavors. The wine, which was unoaked, finishes a little sweet. ——S.H.(12/15/2008)—— 86

Pretty good Sauv Blanc, a little one-dimensional, but satisfies for its flowery, citrus blossom and passionfruit flavors that finish in a swirl of palate-stimulating spices.——S.H.(9/1/2007)—— 87

The vineyard is in the cool, far western part of Green Valley, and the wine, which never saw oak, has very high acidity, nearly 7.7 g/L. You might expect it to be lean, even feline, but the Duttons, among the best growers in the country, have produced a rich, fruity wine, dry and complex in apricot, citrus, herb and mineral flavors. This is simply a tremendous food wine. ——S.H.(8/1/2006)—— 93
