  April 15, 2024 - A Great SB especially for Chard lovers. Expect a full bodied and lively SB with a great and extended mouth feel.

  November 17, 2023 - Wine Experience Pairing Dinner: Slightly chilled, clear, bright med straw color. Bigger nose. This is a wonderful wine and one of the best domestic SB I've had. Clean, bright, intense, full flavored, slight oak, huge acidity and fresh. Completely fooled me vintage wise. Excellent wine and nothing off.
  Retail $40, sale $34

  July 10, 2022 - Better than previous bottle. Double decanted and consume about one hour later.

  June 5, 2022 - Vinetasters: This and That (Chicago, IL): Served double blind. Unpleasant sauvignon blanc notes on the nose coupled with some sulphurous reduction does not make for a good combination. Ungainly with its fatness and oak but also carrying the thinness of sauvignon blanc just doesn't work for me at all. Heavy-handed extraction and pretty discernible high alcohol further detract.

  March 31, 2022 - A repeat buy and one we like to share with company. Some nice complexity that makes it appealing even to people (like Max) who don't usually like Sauvignon Blanc.
