February 19, 2012 - May be a bit past it's prime. Glad we did not pay full price. Still citrusy but nose is uninteresting and tasting flat

January 9, 2012 - full-bodied and some oak; more bordeaux style than is common with new world sauvignon blanc; quite good

November 27, 2011 - A hit with the Thanksgiving meal. Others liked it more than I, but I too found it to have flavour. Although I prefer the Marlborough, New Zealand, style, this Napa style goes well with strong dark-meat turkey. Very good (85.5).

October 12, 2011 - not very impressive. Way overpriced. Possibly just past its prime.

July 31, 2011 - I thought this tasted more like a Chardonnay than a sauv blanc. Lacking in acidity.
