Light to medium gold color. Complex mix of lemon peel, and yellow and tropical fruits in the aroma. Lush mouthfeel on the palate. Smooth ripe fruit with just enough acid to keep things balanced. All in all a delicious Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Unusually big and round for the varietal. Excellent length.

This appealing SB made by Kirk Venge is not pyrazine-driven or acid-edgy, with ripe melon fruit (which slides toward guava/pineapple at warmer temp), a backsplash of soft grapefruit, and a mineral strain and texture. Really nice at the Costco tariff, and shortly to be a major reload. Food friendly or just quaffable!

Quite tropical and pineapple, palate is a bit more vivacious and with good acidity to it. And then some texture. Not harmonious but who really cares.
