Pale yellow with a slight green tinge. Highly aromatic, showing grapefruit and some vine/grass notes. Ample flavors of citrus and a weird, oaky note; not something that pleased me, alas. Seemed off-balance, too sweet and not enough acidity. Perhaps this is sauvignon blanc on training wheels? Long finish.
I'm not sure that I recommend this wine; not for people who like zesty sauvignon blanc... but for a bottle for the non-wine-aficionado friend to sip on with a tilapia fillet and some rice? OK, that's cool.

this is a nice, crisp russian river valley sauvignon blanc. the nose has lemons and grass. on the palate, this has crisp acidity and green apple, lemon/lime and grass flavors with some herbal notes. no tropical fruit flavors, this is a lighter more citrus-oriented sauv blanc. medium finish. decent bargain white to serve with salads or seafood.

A decent sauvignon blanc. Subtle grassy flavors with citrus. A bit simple and a shortish finish but paired well enough with crab cakes.
