Vinous, 94 Points 

"The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc Vieris opens slowly in the glass, holding back in its youthful state, with hints of lemon oil, rosemary and wet stone accentuated by sweet spice. This is seamlessly silky, almost oily in feel, with sapid yellow citrus and savory herbal tones enriched by vibrant acidity. It finishes potent and spicy, leaving the palate saturated in an intense staining of primary concentration." 

James Suckling, 93 Points 

"Rich and dense sauvignon with notes of waxed lemons, ripe stone fruit, raw almonds with spicy and herbaceous nuances to it. It’s full-bodied with depth and creaminess on the palate, yet there is vivid acidity cutting through and giving it a fresh and citrusy vibe. Long finish. Drink now or hold." 

Wine Spectator, 92 Points 

"A graceful, medium-bodied white that caresses the palate with a creamy texture. Features flavors of ripe mango and melon, blood orange peel and crushed pine supported by mouthwatering acidity and an underlying streak of salinity, both driving the well-honeyed finish. Drink now through 2031. 600 cases made, 200 cases imported." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Bright straw yellow color.  On the nose it shows scents of kiwi, cedro, lemon and melonrind, followed by hints of almond, mineral and mint sensetions.  On the palate it recalls all the aromas perceived on the nose, with a perfect balance between aromatics, fruit and acidity. Impeccable long lasting finish." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
