91 Points - Antonio Galloni's Vinous Media:
"(10% new French oak) Pale gold. Aromas of fresh pear peach and Meyer lemon pick up hints of smoky lees and jasmine with air. Juicy and seamless on the palate offering pliant orchard and pit fruit flavors sharpened by a snap of bitter citrus zest. Finishes sappy floral and quite long with a lingering suggestion of buttered toast. (Oct 2018)

89 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"Offers a core of steeped black currant and licorice notes, picking up tobacco and minerally details on the sneakily long finish. Needs a touch of cellaring for this to drop its toast. Best from 2020 through 2022. 28,000 cases made." — JM (Oct 15, 2019)

90 Points - Vinous:
"Brilliant yellow. Aromas of fresh peach and honeydew melon are given urgency by hints of chalky minerals and lemon pith. Juicy and seamless in texture, offering pliant melon and pit fruit flavors that slowly tighten up on the back half. Finishes silky and long, with a discreet floral note hanging on."

92 Points - Vinous:
"The 2015 Collide is outrageously beautiful. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, lavender, chocolate, menthol and crème de cassis infuse this bold, flavorful wine. This blend of 42% Petite Sirah, 30% Tempranillo, 25% Graciano and 3% Carignan will be impossible to resist over the next handful of years. " Antonio Galloni - (Mar 2018) more info

Notes from the Winemaker:
We fermented the first 80% of our 2018 Sauvignon Blanc in stainless steel at very cold temperatures to preserve delightfully fresh and exotic aromas of lychee fruit, guava and lemongrass, plus an alluring note of wet stone, all complimented by honeysuckle and tangerine from a splash of Viognier in our final blend. Additional flavors of white peach, ripe pear and lingering lime round out the palate experience. The remaining 20% was barrel-fermented at warmer temperatures, producing a beautiful texture to envelop the vibrant acidity and make for a balanced and richly satisfying sip from start to finish. more info

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
"The standard nonvintage from this producer benefits from its policy of blending in a high percentage of older reserve wines. That gives the wine its richness and smooth, ripe character. Hints of apples are still there along with a good balance between acidity and toastiness. Drink now." - Roger Voss (8/1/2018)
