The nose is not its strength although it does have an age white wine bouquet. Flavors like a mescal margarita, smokey lime with plenty of zip. Too bad I'm not on the costa azul...

The Sauvignon Blanc Trip (Apartment 851): huge nose of pound cake, rich, expressing mango, papaya, lemon, orange, stony finish, length on the palate, still drinking well and will continue to for a few more years, really a passed-by gem of a wine, rich but not sweet at all

Bright pale yellow-intensely aromatic smelling lemon peel w/ mild grapefruit-medium full body with well structured acidity-dry and very intense pushing lemon and grapefruit peel, minerals, green apple, papaya with only mild herb-the finish lingers beautifully. This is the bomb as far as CA Fume goes. Very intense wine.

This wine is phenomenal. The color is a golden yellow. The nose exudes scents of wildflowers. The taste is filled with intense, focused flavors of pear, apple, kiwi and citrus. This is opulent, fabulous Sauvignon Blanc.

"The day is the day": TK is turning 29.5 years old (Zurich): Tasted blind: Golden color. Exotic (Lichi) nose dominated by fruit flavors. Quite a bit of acidity but elegant and long. Drink now
