"A bright and fruity wine with sliced lemon, light asparagus and cooked apple character. Full body plus lots of fruit and a simple finish. Drink now."

"Green-tinged yellow. Incisive, high-pitched aromas of lime, pink grapefruit and quince are complemented by anise and candied ginger. Taut and sharply focused on the palate, offering vibrant citrus and orchard fruit flavors that deepen and spread out on the back half. The gingery note comes back on the long, nervy finish, which features a refreshing jolt of chalky minerals. - Josh Raynolds"

"The 2015 Sauvignon Blanc Special Reserve, 100% Sauvignon Blanc, seemed slightly more herbaceous in the mouth than its sibling, with more fig, gun-flint and earth, which made me wonder if I didn't prefer the slightly less expensive one to the more prestigious bottling. Readers will have to make that choice, but both are good values. Drink now."

"(raised entirely in stainless steel tanks) Green-tinged straw. Zesty, sharply focused citrus and orchard fruit aromas are complicated by hints of white flowers, jalapeño and chalky minerals. Sappy, penetrating lime zest and pear skin flavors show good depth and a spine of smoky minerality. Closes tight, minerally and long, featuring repeating minerality and a hint of succulent herbs.- Josh Raynolds"

"Appealing aromas of lime and grapefruit set up a pure citrusy palate. Lime, passion fruit and grapefruit flavors are textbook for Leyda SB, while this fades away slowly and with zero bitterness or pyrazines."

"This Sauvignon has a sharp acidity, the kind that leave full flavors in the mouth."
- Patricio Tapia, DESCORCHADOS 2017, 92 pts
"Showing less acidity than it generally does because of the hot vintage, this Pacific-influenced Sauvignon is still fresh and appealing with citrus and orange zest aromas and good weight and texture. 2018-19"
