This is Sauv Blanc? The color screams Chard. The fullness screams something other than Sauv Blanc (Marsanne? Roussanne?). Regardless, it says it is Sauv Blanc. I loved it - going along with some Paso Robles whites I've had recently, it has the big body & fullness unmatched by a, say, New Zealand Sauv Blanc. SB purists weren't wild about it, fwiw.

Nose of honeysuckle, peach, and white flesh stone fruits. Viscous, lively, with bright acidity. Very unique wine with notes of menthol, honey, toasted almonds, and apricots. Complex, deep, yet bright and balanced.

Wow -- this color on this looked like a ripe chard but it was clearlt a SB on the palate and nose. Good wine and ready to drink!

Extremely golden. Great with scallops but drink sooner rather than later- I have a feeling the wine has just peaked.

Delicious geeked sauv blanc over the lees. Great pairing with momo's fried brussel sprouts in fish sauce and oysters.
