It's delicious, interesting and good value, the perfect wine to tuck into with a light meal. Sam's wines are only made in small quantities so get in quick! "This can be among Australia's very finest white wines. Period... A wine of profundity and real potential, although I'd be enjoying this across the mid-term given the aromatic quotient to the blend. Pinot gris, pinot blanc, riesling and gewurztraminer."- 96 pts, Ned Goodwin MW (JamesSuckling.com) "Think citrus, yellow plum, white flowers, soft spice and crushed stone and you're on the track. Just a joy to drink."- 95 pts, Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)
