Very hot - rubbing alcohol on the nose obscuring other notes. Some good red and blue fruit, but too hot, out of balance, and not much else. After a 90 minute decant

One of the bottles that really spurred me to get into wine.
Give this plenty of time to open up - I gave it about 45 minutes, and then continued to drink over the next hour. Leads of with dark cherry, then the real standout is the silky texture and spices (cinnamon, cloves, allspice) and vanilla that follow. Unfortunately, I have drunk my last bottle and am having trouble finding more.

2021 Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc

My first Marlborough Sauv Blanc - very tangy, citrusy, with a hint of lemongrass. Stands out from Loire and CA SBs that I’ve tried
