91 Points - Wilfred Wong of Wine Lake County is one of the champion growing regions for Sauvignon Blanc. The 2018 Shannon Ridge High Elevation Collection Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent wine. This wine is perky, fresh, and crisp. Its delicate aromas of dried leaves and citrus should pair it well with longneck clam in a light soy-accented sauce.
87 Points - Wine Enthusiast Unabashed herbal aromas and veggie flavors define this medium- to full-bodied, smooth and slightly crisp wine.
