Bright gold in color. 14.5% ABV. From the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vines in California. Pretty nose of stone fruits, lemons and freshly cut grass. Medium body with bright acidity. Rich and oily on the palate. Flavors of lemon oil, green apples and pears. Delicious expression of Sauvignon Blanc. Best over the next year or so.

PnP. Light greenish yellow. Classic SB nose. On the palate this seems really out of balance with an intense oak finish. The fruit is still present but just sawdust on the finish. Much different than the last bottle and a 2011 which I had a couple of weeks ago. Cellared since release - Caveat emptor!

Pale yellow color, citrus, apple pear nose and fruit, very rich, long smooth finish. Quite good with roast Alaskan salmon.

Virtually undrinkable. Passable cooking wine perhaps.
