Unexpected find from storage with low expectations. What a great surprise when this drank beautifully. Exceptionally balanced with vibrant tropical fruit and citrus notes. Smooth in the mouth with a medium finish. Might have to rethink aging potential of SB.

($20) Tasted outside on the porch by the lake, so the breeze may have gotten in the way. Initially as a buttery grassy tropical nose. Some obvious oak. On the palate the wine is richly fruited with passion fruit and sweet limes. Viscous given the obvious and inherent acidity of Sauvignon Blanc. Nice.

($20) Unusual nose. Full bodied and balanced, the rumors of a stuck fermentation seem to be true, but the cork was also suspect on this bottle.
