jeb dunnuck logo 250"Even better, the 2017 Sauvignon Blanc Rueda has racy notes of lime and crushed citrus as well as plenty of flinty minerality in a medium-bodied, fresh, nicely balanced style. Showing a touch more tropical fruit with time in the glass, it has outstanding purity of fruit and a crisp finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. It’s another rock-solid wine from this estate."

vinous logo 250"Pale gold. Dried lemon, pear skin, melon and quinine on the mineral-accented nose and in the mouth. Dry, nervy and sharply focused, picking up an exotic pineapple nuance as the wine opens up. Finishes taut and spicy, showing good energy and a touch of succulent herbs.- Josh Raynolds"

tanzer iwc 88 pts"Light yellow. Pungent, herb-tinged nose displays vibrant scents of lemon, green tea, basil and jasmine. Spicy and incisive, with brisk citrus pith flavors accented by succulent herbs and minerals. Finishes clean, supple and spicy, with gentle acidity adding lift. I'd have guessed that this was from the Loire Valley."

Tanzer International Wine Cellar 88 Pts"Bright straw. High-pitched aromas of lime zest and lemongrass, with a note of pear skin adding depth. Dry and tightly focused flavors of tangy citrus fruits and a chalky mineral nuance, with a touch of herbacity in the background. Closes dry and tight, leaving mineral and white pepper notes behind. - JR"
