What People Are Saying
2005 Sauvignon Blanc
Wine Spectator - 86 points
"A beam of lime juice and fragrant herbal notes and a refreshing, tangy acidity."
"Highly Recommended.
2005 Crinella Sauvignon Blanc, Russian River Valley ($22.) Delicate tropical fruit and mint with a faint
lemongrass character. Succulent entry and mid-palate, but fine acidity for aging a year to see some
bottle development. From a new winery." - Dan Berger
2005 Pinot Noir
"Clean, in the Burgundian style. Lean, intended to show the Pinot grape
and the terroir, rather than manufactured, as so many California and
Oregon Pinots seem to be. Very pretty nose, without overpowering
mustiness or phenolic characteristics. Wonderful acidity. Excellent
balance. Extraordinary for a young vineyard, indicating that great wines
will be coming up in the next couple of years." Massimo Navaretta, Onotria Wine Country Cuisine
2004 Sauvignon Blanc
Wine Spectator 84 points - a wine with special qualities
"Lightly aromatic, showing more depth and complexity on the palate, with lemongrass, melon, honeysuckle and floral notes. Finishes with fresh, lively acidity." - James Laube
"Crinella 2004 Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc: The best
sauvignon blanc we have tasted in a long time. Notes of lemon, peach,
honeysuckle, and a crisp minerality combine with vibrant acidity; a
great match for shellfish." Picks of the Month, Innovativewine.com
"This unparalleled wine is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc Clone #1 from cuttings originally taken from Chateau d' Yquem and Sauvignon Musque, which is extremely aromatic. The Russian River Valley is conducive to producing wines with good fruit, acidity, and finesse. This is an elegant wine, with aromas of citrus, peach, apple, and undertones of flowers and spice. In the mouth it is quite rich but strikes an excellent balance with the acidity and moves forward with interpretations of peach and fig, which then crescendos to an intense finish!" - Michael Brick,
