"Flashy and pure, with aromas of sliced lemons, lime leaves, honeysuckle, orange blossoms, fresh ginger, fresh herbs, citrus oil and wet stones. The palate is medium-bodied with taut, mouthwatering acidity and a generously textured mid-palate that leads to a long finish. A standout New-World sauvignon blanc in a Bordeaux Blanc style, showing real tension. Excellent. Drink or hold." —James Suckling

"Coming from a mix of Sonoma and Napa fruit, the 2024 Illumination has a Bordeaux Blanc-like vibe in its ripe lime, orange blossom, mint, and spicy wood nuances. It brings plenty of sweet California fruit and is medium to full-bodied and concentrated, with bright acidity and a great finish. It's beautifully done and just an impeccable 100% Sauvignon Blanc from California." —Jeb Dunnuck
