  April 25, 2015 - PnP. Grapefruit, pear and guava aromas. Tart, mouthwatering acidity with fruit and rocks on the palate and a bit of softness or creaminess that hints of some wood. Very nice example of a Sauvignon Blanc. Does not have the fruity punch of New Zealand, and is softer than many of the Loire Valley Sauvignon Blancs that we have had. Drank before and with dinner of Broiled Scallops, Pasta with Sun-dried Tomato Basil Pesto and Broccoli.

  October 3, 2014 - Nose of white peach, guava, nectarine and lemon zest. On the palate, the acid is pronounced and very tangy, but there’s a slightly creamy mouthfeel that comes with the guava and grapefruit. Lots of cut to this wine, with a hint of grass and minerals that lingers onto the finish. A more bracing style, but so well-done. One of the more impressive Virginia Sauv Blancs I’ve tasted.

  August 7, 2014 - 1/3 of the grapes for this wine are sourced from the Stinson property, and the remainder are from the Shenandoah Valley. Fermented in stainless steel and concrete. Reminds me a lot of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in style. Plenty of acid and grass. Grapefruit dancing around on the mid-palate.
