Geographically and stylistically close to Smith Haut-Lafitte but a county away in price, this Sauvignon Blanc dominated wine is enough to make me forget my anti SB prejudice and learn to love the benighted grape. Some tropicality, plenty of structure and length in spades make this a must have addition to your wine drinking arsenal. (CW 29/11/11)
