Community Tasting Note

Monday, June 11, 2012 - Best Sauv Blanc I've ever had. This is a heavy, heavy Sauv Blanc. If you're a white wine fan, you'll probably rate this mid-to-high 80's. This wine is a pop and pour genius that shows the complexity that such an otherwise very simple wine can have when aged and fermented in concrete eggs. Out of the bottle this is a full bodied, citrus-filled, buttery monster that will complement anything it's served with or stand alone. This wine has a lot of grapefruit and kiwi up front, nice buttery backbone. Lemon type of mid-palate that gives way to that concrete egg complexity and spiciness that leaves you wanting more on the finish. Preordered a case of 2011 two days ago. Amazing wine, amazing price point for what it gives you. Disagree with other reviewers - - this one will change your latitude on what you can really expect out of a Sauv Blanc.
