  April 27, 2024 - Honeysuckle and jasmine, along with pineapple, melon and saline on the nose. Some oakiness popping into the smell, but kinda complimentary.
  
  Palate was tropical with melon, hint of pineapple cream, no zippy acid or bitterness, love the Musque clones.
  
  Actually drank better as it warmed, some MOG ( matter other than grape) in the bottom of the bottle, much like Bevan’s SB.

  December 16, 2023 - Sometimes you go to Napa and a wine hits your heart and then you’re disappointed when you pull one. This ain’t that ! As good as it was then it was better tonite. Better between cellar and room temp. Jolly rancher of all flavors, tropical fruits, green apples, juicy fruit gum, melon, simply awesome. Awesome mouthfeel, synergistic flavors from the SB, betting this is Sauvignon Musque clones. Better tonite than in August.

  August 26, 2023 - Napa 2023 - The Sequel; 8/23/2023-8/28/2023: Blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Musque this was the opener we needed. Served at just the right temperature to showcase a softer tropical wine that set the stage for everything to follow. One of the best blanc/musque blends I’ve ever had.

  August 1, 2020 - Arrow and Branch Tasting 2016-2018 Vintages: This is a stunner. Citrus fruit dominates on the nose, with notes of crushed stone, honeycomb and hints of yeast. A bit more fruit than the 2017 edition, but with all the vibrancy, tension and freshness. Very powerfully concentrated, but not at all heavy. Great acidity and balance rounded out by fabulous texture and layering. Super long finish. This is up there with the best Sauv Blancs in Napa.
