  Very good. Lots of tropical fruit with a nice spice finish.

  Tropical fruit aroma, touch of acidity and just a little smokiness. A good match with the Thai food we enjoyed. Next time, I would recommend pairing with seared scallops or lobster. :-P

  Good vintage for the Grgich Fume Blanc. Not over the top for this varietal (pleasing nose, excellent follow-through); not too acidic or puckering. Nice lemon and citrus notes and lychee
  with nice minerality. a nice food wine. Paired wonderfully with filet of sole with lemon and capers.

  Grassy, OK but not to my liking. Tastes better after it has opened up for an hour or so.

  12/10/2014 - fearlesswine Likes this wine:

  This showed an ethereal, transparent gold with an ever-so-slight nod to the mild green of fresh-cut silage. The nose was very pungent, overflowing with grassiness, skunky yarrow blossoms and a suggestion of cannabis. An oily, chewy mid-palate chock full of cantaloupe and guava but with enough crispness to keep things moving, like a tropical fruit salad with a spritz of lemon over the top. A meandering, dawdling finish that ultimately came full circle to the fresh-cut grass on the nose.
  
  My gut feeling tells me this is not the bottle to test out on those who aren't already fans of this particular grape variety; but those who know they like things on the green-grassy side of the fence will be in bliss. This is a sauv blanc drinker's sauv blanc, if you will.
