  May 30, 2015 - Un nez de melon de miel avec des notes de coquillages.
  La bouche montre une belle richesse aromatique dans un style crayeux d'une réelle complexité. Fascinant qu'un vin aussi peu cher en donne autant. 90-91 pts

  December 27, 2014 - Wow! Rock of Ages. Granite prevails in just about everything -- the bouquet, on the palette and the finish -- everything except the color.
  Speaking of the color it is a pure, pale yellow with just the slightest hint of green. The nose is sauvignon fruit with a base of chalk, mineral and of course, granite. Even with the weight of the stone, the wine is anything but heavy -- it's lightness floats in your mouth. Imagine tropical fruit arrayed on a bed of granite garden pebbles -- and that is what you will smell and taste. Its chalkiness dries your mouth in time for the next mouthful. Truly an educational wine experience for less than 20 bucks.

  December 22, 2014 - The explosively granitic nose fairly snarls in your face for at least four hours, daring you to sip. Later, there is softening by slow degrees, revealing a spring-wound inner tension. Definitely 2-3 years short of its best. Hold.
