  Johner Sauvignon Blanc 2011

  Snoothrank:

  Kiwi, fig and melon yield a rather fruity nose but not in the green end of the spectrum, with hints of smoke and green tomato. Bright and ripe but with huge acid cut, nice richness. Zesty, deep finish, succulent and complex with a hint of fig on the finale, along with a green spice. Spicy gooseberry finish. 90pts Read More

  Desert Wind Vineyard Viognier Wahluke Slope Bare Naked Desert Wind Vineyard 2010

  Snoothrank:

  Lovely on the nose with a bright freshness to the lightly tropical aromas, recalling mangosteen, kiwi, peach and apricot, all topped with tropical floral notes.
