The best Clos Pegase Sauvignon Blanc in years. Made with a little oak, just enough for creaminess, it’s marked by vibrant acidity and complex, lovely flavors of lemongrass, Meyer lemon candy, vanilla, white pepper and the distinct minerality that Carneros white wines often display. Great price for a wine this sophisticated. ——S.H.(6/1/2011)—— 91

Tart, almost sour, in gooseberry and pyrazine aromas and flavors, and bone dry, with crisp, citrusy acidity. Finely structured and dry, but those feline tastes are pretty strong.——S.H.(5/1/2010)—— 84

When this bottling is from a ripe vintage, it can be quite good. But the cool 2007 harvest has yielded a somewhat green wine. It has grapefruit and gooseberry flavors that veer into feline territory.——S.H.(12/15/2008)—— 84

Strong, powerful in green grass, gooseberry and nettle flavors, a very dry, highly acidic wine with a minerally streak. No malolactic fermentation occurred and no oak was involved. This is a user-specific wine. You either love this style, or can’t drink it. ——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 87
