Mike Press’s Adelaide Hills sauvignon blanc is remarkable value, a little more intense on the palate and with a more complex bouquet than most of its ilk.  Hint of nuts, toast and honey as well as gooseberry varietal cues, with a lick of sweetness. 88/100 Huon Hook  Sydney Morning Herald April 7th 2009

I opened this alongside some of its more expensive Adelaide Hills peers (2007 Henschke Coralinga and 2007 Hewitson Lu Lu) and the humbly priced Mike Press acquitted itself favourably. Admittedly from a different, and from what I am seeing, possibly better white vintage - the Press is the wine I actually preferred to drink.  It had a vivacity and uncompromising Blancness that I found more appealing than the softer 2007's.

Young and vivacious - full of banana and tropical fruit, grass, pee and mineral.  It has plenty of honey and tropical fruit with a touch of minerality and sheen of sweatiness. There's a chalkiness to the texture which is an attractive touch and chilling it down (they way you would/should drink it) results in better focus and line. The finish is good too - often a let down with Sauvignon Blanc. It should be ready for you just in time for summer and the bang per buck value is as obvious as the wine itself.  ABV: 12% Drink: 2008 - 2010. 90 points. Gary Walsh; The Wine Front

Bargain red wine guru Mike Press proves his multitalented dexterity with this wine.  It’s a lively tropical thing with green apples, pears and zesty grapefruits , finishing in a soda stream of minerally acidity.  There’s a touch of bitterness on the end, but at this price, who’s to notice? 88 points; Tyson Stelzer.  Wine Business Monthly – Australia.
