Green hue but fairly light in color. Nose is driven by green apple with pear hiding in the background. Palate starts on the attack with big Granny Smith apple and zippy acidity. Mid palate shows the pear and a hint of straw. There's even a bit of cat pee for the purest. Finish is very clean with a lingering ripe soft pear. Really? For less than $8 this is an all time favorite QPR. Normally we're not drinking lots of SB in December but it's been 85 degrees and we grilled ahi tonight, just seemed like the right thing to do.

This has become my fiancee's "house white" and I'm cool with that. It's $8 and it delivers a lot of freshness, creaminess, even some chalky minerals. I like the mix of bitter lemon and sweet red grapefruit. So easy to sip. I whipped up some Monday night chicken fried rice and opened this and an Oregon Pinot Gris. Not bad for a Monday night.

Last of the lot, but I'm sure the wife will buy more.

Very faint color. Strong citrus fruit and grassy notes. Well balanced. Good wine at a great price.
