Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 27, 2021 - This is as good as Sauvignon Blanc gets. Clear, pale yellow in the glass.
Complex, wide ranging aromas from lemon curd to pineapple to honeycomb to peach and hay. All with a distinct mineral wet stone / grassy backbone adding freshness.
Palate is lush and round with racy acidity and pronounced 14% alcohol. If there is a fault, it is the alcohol integration.
Flavours are largely tropical with guava and pineapple with hints of thyme, rosemary, hay and stone. Long, spicy finish.
Drink now.
