The color has a slight green hue and on the nose it is a bit herbaceous with lime and asparagus. The palate is all lemon curd with good balance and a bracing acidity. Very Good to Excellent. 88-90 Points.
Trione Tiny Bottle Tasting; 2/12/2013-2/16/2013 (My Place - Washington, DC): A slight spritz in the glass. On the nose, this sauvignon blanc is beautiful. Starts off with a burst of melon, cantaloupe and honeysuckle, with hints of sage and shallots. High acid provides an intense verve, but there’s lots of creaminess as well. Flavors of lime, melon and pineapple mix with a soft herbal note. The acid lingers long on the finish along with a note of mineral and limestone. One of the better domestic sauvignon blancs I’ve had in a long time.

Trione tasting: Light straw color. The nose offers many of the grassy, grapefruit and gooseberry notes typical of CA Sauv Blanc, along with hints of bell pepper and spice. This starts off very light on the palate and adds heft and weight toward the finish with nice elegance and prevalent notes of citrus and melon along with hints of wet stone and spice. Balanced acid and richness. Lingering finish.

The 2010 ($23) used a different yeast strain and was more new world in its orientation, resulting in a lighter style (86-88 Points).
