Community Tasting Note

Friday, September 10, 2010 - [My third Lab Rat bottle, link below.] Pale and watery-looking, and about as viscous as water. On the nose, an immediate incredibly obvious acidity, loads of grapefruit, pineapple, a little grassiness and a little sweetness - sort of a honey-like floral component. Surprisingly robust where most Sauvignon Blancs fall woefully short. On the palate, the opening attack, behind a hint of sweetness, is somewhere between fruity and floral, but not quite fully either. The grapefruit definitely comes through again, and there might be some Asian pear. Not much on the midpalate, but it builds into a powerful acidity that simply explodes on the finish. By itself, this wine has great body and character forward, which resolves into the crisp, clean, palate-cleansing finish most come to expect from Sauvignon Blancs. Really good stuff.
