  Very tertiary, as you would expect from a decade-old SB. And very enchanting. Heavy dose of crème brûlée and butterscotch in both the nose and palate, with no discernible minerals or much fruit left. Certainly in its drink-me-now phase. For fans of aged whites. Worth Seeking Out.

  One and only bottle haul back from winery - it was well worth it. Inviting citrus aroma, a little herbs and spice. On the palate, it was refreshing yet intense, bursting ripe fruits, some pear & lime, stone/minerals, med+ body, med+ length finish. As the night progresses, got more pineapple & tropical fruits. USD 28 at the winery, lovely wine, we like it a lot

  A winner (and QPR), year in and year out. No exception, this bottle showed ripe citrus and grass notes, with bright acidity and a crisp finish.

  Anything Goes When Thai Food and Wine Collide - NYC Wine Tasting Group (Kuma Inn, NY, NY): The nose on this wine was pungent, hints of lemongrass, dirty socks and skunk spray. Not for the faint hearted. Some people were put off by the smell, but on the palette the wine was much more composed, a little towards the dry side but not tannic, balanced, light, some citrus. I don't think I would buy again.

  Lots of minerality on the nose, along with citrus and a strong basil note. The palate skews slightly more tropical, but it remains grounded with wet stones and a pithy grapefruit flavor. Decently long, mouth watering, finish. Very good sauvignon blanc, but I still prefer their single vineyard wines.
