Community Tasting Notes 6

  March 28, 2023 - I can’t say this wine is flawed if a mouth-puckering sherry profile is the goal here—and some may find it to their taste if savory is their jam—but it’s nothing like any Sauvignon Blanc I would wish to drink or serve. Sometimes Kalin hits it out of the park, but I’m four for four and done with these bottles.

  August 27, 2021 - Rich deep golden-orange color. Again, nutty and sherry-like. A full-bodied, savory wine; probably best in cool weather. My dining companion, who favors savory over sweet, liked it very much. It will never be a go-to for me.

  April 19, 2020 - Pretty amazing wine. Lime and hazelnut on the nose. Full bodied and viscous. I could imagine this going for another ten years...

  April 6, 2020 - Kalin's wines always seem like a science experiment: some are wonderful; all are interesting. This is like no SB I've ever had: medium-bodied, sherry-like on first sips, it eventually settles down and the sweetness of the fruit comes forward. I would find it amazingly good, on the order of the Kalin 2000 Semillon, if not for the sharp and ever-present woody note that mars the enjoyment.

  July 13, 2019 - This should be great, and would be if it weren't oxidized. My first of four, and I'm not optimistic about the other three. This was drinkable, but not very pleasant.
