A very nice white that paired well with the mexican fusion we had. Easy to drink on it's own without being 1 dimensional. This is a white to help get an evening started, or as part of a lighter, summer meal.

On the nose- Tropical fruits, stone fruit, pineapple, citrus, grapefruit, white flowers, crushed rock, salinity
On the palate- Tropical fruits, a bit of stone fruit and some nice fresh cut pineapple and citrus zest, grapefruit, with a nice bouquet of white flowers with a bit of crushed rock and some salinity on the finish, the finish has nice acid and is big, round and rich and yet crisp and clean and laser focused at the same time, this wine is drinking well now but I think could age 3-5 more years easy

Med to full body with light citrus and grassy character. Paired well with Hamachi crudo tostada. By itself I found the grassiness overpowered the citrus.

Fresh, tangy, tropical aromas along with lemon and a hint of grassiness. Acidity is sharp and mouthwatering, but balances well with the other components. Great expression of the varietal in a New World style.

A great example of the changing character of Napa Sauvignon Blanc. Light body with hints of star fruit and kiwi. Held up well with grilled coho salmon.

Big, for the varietal. Almost as much glycerine as Viognier, but with the traditional acid and citrus. Very light in color. Really enjoy this rounder style as opposed to too many harsh, acidic versions.

Nice citrus/fruity nose. Bright tastes of citrus & tropical fruits. First glass was a bit tart, but it continually improved as it opened up. Great warm weather wine.

Pale straw color. Nose of tropical fruit, perhaps pineapple, lemons and a hint of green grass. Similar flavors on the palate with a citrusy sing and juicy tropical fruit with a bit of fresh herbs. Good acidity, slightly round mouthfeel and a nice, clean finish. One of my favorite Cali sauvignon blancs year in and year out. This vintage is no exception.

Crisp, well balanced with hints of tropical fruit. Super smooth and easy to drink; excellent by itself or paired.

Consistent with previous bottles. Delicious sauvignon blanc and paired perfectly with herb crusted baked halibut.
