nice standard sauvignon with typical notes of jalapeno/chili spice along with lemon, grassy, tropical profile. good structure. #63 in WS 2014, good value.

South African Wine + Surf Trip; 5/17/2014-6/1/2014 (Western Cape, South Africa): Aromas of slate, lemon, honeysuckle, some spicy mineral notes as well. Super tangy on the palate with gooseberry and lemon peel flavors. Mineral and grass notes rush across the palate, and there’s a slight lemon-nutty note on the finish.

Straw-colored and light-bodied, this Sauvignon Blanc provides a nice package of citrus, minerals and hay, all supported by racy acidity and nicely integrated alcohol (13.5%). The flavors and freshness do not wane in the middle and the crisp finish is medium in length. This is a very nice, clean expression of the grape. Enjoy it in its youth. Drink now-2015.

Nice crisp SB. Lemon and tropical fruit. It doesn't wow you right off the bat, but as you drink it you think wow this is pretty damn good.

Pale straw color, massive burst of fruit on the nose, zippy tanginess of citrus on the first sip.

This was a great effort from a producer I really enjoy. Given the price, it has lots of good (not zippy) acidity. Not as citrusy as a NZ SB.
