90  Work Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley 2005

         The vineyard is in the warmer, northern valley. The cool, dry harvest permitted the grapes to achieve maximum ripeness, and this is a super fruity wine. No oak touched it, but it was stirred on the lees, which gives the citrus and tropicalfruit flavors a rich, creamy texture. This is a polished, sophisticated Sauvignon Blanc.

90  Work Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley 2003

            Vibrant and fragrant, with excellent intensity to passion fruit, grapefruit, green apple and grass flavors.   The wealth of flavors lingers, with a hint of cedar and tart citrus tanginess that invites food.  Drink now through 2005.  730 cases made. – J. L.

This description of our 2003 vintage wine is from the wine consultants at D & M Wine and Liquors on Filmore St. in San Francisco . . . . “Very clear straw color.  The nose is spicy, with melon, pineapple, lemon grass and minerals all making an appearance.  In the mouth it’s bright and showy.  There’s a cinnamon spiciness along with bright casaba melon fruit, as well as pineapple all on a sleek texture.  There’s a steely acid backbone throughout making this just call out for grilled salmon.  It finishes with a mineral snap.  This is the real deal, great Napa Sauvignon Blanc!”

89  Work Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley 2003

            As bright and rich in sweet lime, fig and tropical fruit flavors as last year's release, and as crisp, with a lush, creamy texture. The creamy texture leads to a very long, spicy finish. – S. H.

89  Work 2002 Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley

            Another fine release from Work.   This wine shows bright, rich flavors of sweet lime, fig, and even a smattering of tropical fruits.  Yet it is crisp and dry, with a steely mouth feel that cleanses the palate.  The creamy texture leads to a very long spicy finish. – S. H.

91  Work 2001 Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley

            Shares more than a little in common with New Zealand Sauvignons in the intense gooseberry, juniper and lemon rind flavors.  The wine is crisp and nervy, with a streak of acidity that penetrates the palate.  The finish is very long and spicy.  One of the more interesting Sauvignons of the current crop, and a wine to watch. – S. H.
