  May 25, 2010 - I am completely neutral on this wine. Been intrigued with it ever since it was sent to me, mostly I think because of the label, but it doesn't do much for me. It's decent enough, with all the lemon, grapefruit and grass that I've come to expect from Sauvignon Blanc, but it's very plain. Even served very cold, I think it lacks dimension and complexity. For my tasted, I'll stick with the New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs when the summer heat kicks in (which could be a while in Seattle).
  
  NOTE: this wine was sent to me as a free sample.

  May 5, 2010 - This vintage is all Lake County and picked at 21 brix. It is a very long ferementation -- 35 days -- the goal is 3/4 of a brix a day. So they have to be going very cool in the fermentation.
  
  Very full aromatics to the wine. Fresh, mouthwatering wine. Juicy fruit sugar. About .24 RS to the wine.
  
  So with all of this it means that the wine is very expressive in its aromatics.

  February 15, 2010 - An easy drinking everyday wine. As the label promises, lots of grapefruit and other citrus flavors. Not grassy. Good fruit balance with good acidity.

  January 20, 2010 - Well, there's lemons on the label...and it does smell like lemons. Perhaps with a few other citrus fruits thrown in. Very nice acid and citrus flavors. Not nearly as grassy or vegetal as NZ Sav. Blancs.
