  PnP, mod chill. Clear, med straw color. Med/full intensity nose. A very fine wine and definately not NZ in style. Classic/proper CA SB. Wonderful balance/integration, big/proper SB flavor profile, very French. Clean, slight steel/chalk, not over oaked, no hint at all of grass/pineapple. Long very fruity finish. One of the best examples of CA SB I've ever had and absolutely nothing off. Drinking perfectly now. $38

  Nose of honey with a little vanilla - very understated, but pleasant. Nice lemon punch on the palate with the vanilla very subtle on the finish. Had no idea that Sauv. Blanc could have this kind of structure and body, but still be refreshing.

  My first time with this wine and it really out performed my expectation. Not your too often found overripe over oaked Cali SB. This one is plenty acidic with grapefruit and lemon dominating. Clean and crisp with only a hint of oak on the finish. Could definitely hold for a bit in the cellar too. I bought this one because I ran across it for $20, but after tasting I wouldnt have felt bad about paying the full retail. Nice wine if you like the leaner aid style. (think opposite style of say Merry Edwards SB ...which I like too btw)
