James Hayes - Head Sommelier Per Se Restaurant 10 Columbus Circle / New York, NY 10019 "The '06 Vogelzang Happy Canyon is a truly unique expression of Sauvignon Blanc - it joins the spirit of a great Bordeaux Blanc with all the texture and personality one expects from California. Layers of fruit and minerals - exotic, luscious and tropical."
The higher temperatures in this part of the valley give the resulting wine a stone fruit focus, along with enticing notes of ripe melon and honey, and light but luscious textures. A dash of lime is about as green as it gets, and the length and elegance of previous bottlings is evident in this latest release. Creamy, but not heavy, and with exceptional length on the palate, this concentrated white can be savored with steamed clams, halibut with pistachio crust, or oysters Rockefeller spritzed with fresh lemon juice." The Wine Cask 813 Anacapa Street / Santa Barbara, CA 93101 "This delicious Sauvignon Blanc sets the bar high. Sumptuous and luciously laden with mouthwatering flavors of tropical fruits, pears, and limes bounded by flinty minerality, the wine seamlessly combines rich texture with vibrant structure. Winemaker Robbie Meyer (formerly assistant winemaker at Peter Michael and winemaker at Lewis), has incorporated classic techniques including natural fermentation and barrel aging to impressive effect." Porthos - The Wine Insiders www.Porthos.com Outstanding 94 Points: "Don't miss the hottest new cool and refreshing collector white wine this Summer! A stunning new discovery, this refreshing thriller features complex notes of honeydew melons, lemon meringue pie, and even a touch of honeysuckle in a floral sense. This is terrific Sauvignon, and I suspect it will age for 4-5 years, although I don’t know how anyone could resist it now."
