Serena Sauvignon Blanc 2005
Fresh scents of parsley cut the fat, juicy pineapple flavors of this Sauvignon Blanc, an easy match with sole.
Wine & Spirits - April, 2007
"Floral and forward, core of grapefruit."
Dick Rosano - Chile Pepper (TX) - February, 2007
" Inviting aromas of flowers, herbs, gooseberry, vanilla, and tobacco leaf that are reflected on the complex palate; lingering finish. Goat cheese. Fully mature. Serve now."
SANTÉ - November, 2006
Serena Sauvignon Blanc 2003
"Medium bodied with low acidity and grapefruit rind, mushroom, apple, and grape flavors and a hint of winemaking aromas. Mushroom salad. Buy and serve youngest vintage available."
Santé - May, 2005
"You don't think of Italy when you think of sauvignon blanc, but here's one that shows better than other sauvignon blanc made on the West Coast. Crisp, fresh grapefruit flavors, simple aromas and nice notes of citrus."
Tom Marquardt & Patrick Darr - The Capital - October, 2004
"...very dry, light and crisp, marked by grapefruit and orange peel, but also by minerals and a subtle oak presence of its own. It, too, was delightful to sip by itself and easily brought shellfish to mind."
Edward Deitch - MSNBC.COM - October, 2004
Serena Sauvignon Blanc 2002
"This Sauvignon Blanc had an unusual combination of grapefruit and tomato vines in the aroma. In the mouth, the wine was well balanced with more flavors of herbs appearing. The finish was lively and crisp."

Frank Sutherland - The Tennessean - August, 2004
"This Italian Sauvignon Blanc is fermented partially in French oak barrels, which gives it a rounder profile with generous aromatics of grapefruit and herbs. Lots of flavor here."
Tom Marquardt & Patrick Darr - The Capital (MD) - March, 2004
"High acidity, with fresh greens, black pepper, mineral and clove; flavorful finish. Calamari. Fully mature, serve now. "
SANTÉ - April, 2004
"A surprising Sauv from Montalcino, who would have thought? Less "electric" and citrus than New Zealand, more herbal, good balance, really worth the try. May be hard to find; look now before it is gone."
Bill Van Ollefen - Greenwich Time (CT) - December, 2003
"Bright and fruity, with lemon and dried fruit character. Long, very crisp finish. Drink now."
Wine Spectator - October, 2003
Serena Sauvignon Blanc 1997
Aromas of apple skin, vanilla and honey, with a hint of white pepper. Medium-bodied, with a soft, round texture and a fruity finish.
Wine Spectator
Serena Sauvignon Blanc 1996
"Shows the complexity of oak aging with the nutmeg notes on the herbal, ripe-fruit nose. Crisp and dry on the palate, with an excellent balance of wood and fruit flavors. ***1/2
Montreal Gazette
Serena Sauvignon Blanc 1994
"...A wine of superb balance; a Montalcino taste-voyage for this aperitif-time favorite."
Wine Enthusiast
Serena Sauvignon Blanc 1993
"Serena is a wine that contradicts all of the current thoughts about commonplace status of this grape variety...an excellent choice as an all purpose white wine."
South Florida Newspaper Group
Serena Sauvignon Blanc 1990
"Deliciously rounded fruit...nicely balanced" Wine Of The Week
San Francisco Chronicle
Serena Sauvignon Blanc Vintage Not Specified
"This smooth, viscous Sauvignon Blanc offers plenty of vanilla and butter flavors from new oak and some ripe melon and pear character."
