Hum, at this point after having our initial tastes, we can't say we're crazy about this sauv. The nose to me smells "off" and the initial tastes disjointed, sour, tart, "green" and a lingering finish that isn't that appealing. Can't discern what fruit that's overwhelmingly present, but it's not very enjoyable or approachable as well. Perhaps it might be one only to pare with food (which to me would be it's only saving grace if that's the case) Save your money, pass this one by.

Some Oregon wines with friends (My backyard): Only had a quick taste of this. Not as good as the Gruner. Some tropical fruit. Nice minerality. A bit leaner than the Oregon versions. Jane said she got green notes, but I found more gooseberry. Good, not great.

This needs a few minutes to open. At first, it's all citrus, but then balances very nicely.
