ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 96 POINTS - "The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Grassini Family Vineyard has pretty scents of apricot and nectarine with accents of tarragon, lime leaves, beeswax and flint. The medium-bodied palate is satiny and elegant with concentrated yet understated flavors, plenty of balancing acidity and a long finish with dynamic flavor layers. Generous and energetic, it's beautiful today but offers 5-7+ years' aging potential. 250 cases were made."
JEB DUNNUCK 94 POINTS - "Dragonette Cellars, led by John and Steve Dragonette and Brandon Sparks-Gillis, continues to produce some of the greatest wines in the vintage. They unquestionably make some of the most singular, age-worth Sauvignon Blancs from the Central Coast, and both their Pinot Noirs and Syrahs are world-class."
"Moving to the two single vineyard releases, the 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Grassini Family Vineyard is 100% Sauvignon Blanc and offers exotic notes of ripe citrus, orange blossom, honeyed flowers, and brioche, with a kiss of background minerality. Rich and medium-bodied, with beautiful balance and a great finish, it's a richer example of this cuvee that still brings plenty of freshness and vibrancy."
