  Has become quite a bit more rounded since I recall from previous tastings. Nose has turned much more toward tropical, with pineapple, coconut and a bit of melon. Mouth is a bit heavy and finish is a bit hot and desperately needs more acidity. Overall, though still enjoyable, has definitely declined and, unless this bottle is an outlier, I would disagree with the community suggested drinking window for this wine. I think it needs to be consumed now, if not two years ago.

  Well balanced with creamy texture. On the nose I get green apple, pear and a hint of vanilla. Finish fades quickly. All in all a good Cali sav blanc. Enjoyable.

  Very nice. Nose of grass and (surprisingly) some caramel. Citrus, pear and vanilla with some sweetness. Bright acidity with a slightly creamy texture and a medium body. More fruit, richer and riper than a typical Sauvignon Blanc. I am not a big fan of green/grassy/tart Sauvignon Blanc, and this was much more to my liking.
