Consumed over 2 days, note from day 2. Nose: Medium expressiveness, cantaloupe and pear, with hints of lemon and licorice. Palate: Medium bodied, sweet citrus attack, nice creamy mouth-feel, great balance - flavors are very clean and focused, holds up well thru the mid-palate and displays a zesty kick in the back-end. Finish: Medium-plus length of zesty citrus fruit. Kind of a bruiser for Sauv Blanc, could have easily mistaken it for a Chardonnay, but I found it quite enjoyable.
An interesting SB that's at once rich and refreshing. Tropical and melon notes on the nose which suggests some oak influence. The mid-palate and finish has lime and citrus acidity. This has some weight and structure without getting bogged down.
