Peach stone, minerals, licorice, and apricot make up the nose. Wine is very smooth and refined on the palate with some residual sugar; yet, it finishes dry. Very good.

Dinner with Friends and "2001 Cabs": Light yellow in color. Nose of vanilla, limes, and perfumed with a certain oakyness. Quite a rich SB, balanced, elegant with a nice sweetness. Not your typical SB, reminds more of a Voigner. Drink now - 2018

Enjoyed at the Austin Food and Wine Festival. Aged in oak for six months. Definitely unique for a SB. The oak seemed to give it some weight and texture. It wasn't as crisp and a stainless SB.

Tasted at Joseph Phelps (Freestone): medium straw color. Beautiful nose of citrus, pear, mint and some flowers. On the palate the same flavors show up again. Medium bodied with medium acidity and good length. On the finish there is an almost creamy impression but still with a lot of freshness. Very pretty Sauvignon Blanc.

One of the best new world SBs I tasted in quite a while. Crisp, clean with lovely citrus, pear and green apple notes, medium bodied and near perfect balance. Very nice

- Light gold color and aromas of peach and grapefruit. It's balanced and has flavours of peach and grapefruit with a medium body. Satin-Like texture with a medium finish.

Tasted at a Joseph Phelps tasting at Artisan Wine Depot in Los Altos, CA. Star-bright straw color. Light-bodied. Aromas of green apple and citrus. Same on the palate with a good minerality and only slightly dry. A decent Sauvignon Blanc, though not the most favorable QPR when compared with others.

Decent citrus on the nose and nothing terribly wrong with the finish, apart from being a touch creamy. I prefer a crisp, more acidic sauvignon blanc. Way overpriced at $35 ($28 for wine club members) when you can get a far superior wine from New Zealand for $20.

Very nice SB. Lemon color. Nose of lemon, pear, floral, mineral. Nice creamy texture on the palate. Med+ body, med+ acidity, med+ finish - starting creamy and finishing with a pleasant tartness. Would go well with spicy food, or lots of other things. Nice by itself, too.

Time to drink up. Nice lime and stone notes. Quite good, but it has lost oomph.

Grass, salt, and distilled alcohol notes on the nose. Medium+ acidity with slightly bitter aftertaste. Ok finish. Rather disappointing...

Excellent. One of best Sauvignon out there, although $33/bottle might be on the high end for cost. Really good though.

Wonderful floral and mineral flavors. Not the New Zealand style at all. Burgundian perhaps?
