I have no recollection of purchasing this wine, but found it last night and decided to pair it with a light tilapia dish. Clean mineral nose with a hint of parsley and lemon zest. Very light body and little concentration of flavor compared to most of the Sauvignon Blancs that I enjoy. Mostly flavor of citrus peel, wet stone, with a slight grassy edge to it. Acidity seems to balance the bitterness fairly well, and the wine matched nicely with the meal, but it just wasn't a standout.

I had heard good things about this California SB. For the most part, I agree with the hype. Nice taste from beginning to end. P{aired well with a light fish dish as it has a rather simple citrus tase and did not overpower the food. I would buy this wine again.

Nice body and color with a slightly tart boquet. Nice citrus overtones. lemon and honeysuckle that finshed clean without being overly sweet. I'm not a big fan of whites and rarely drink them preferring reds. But this was a nice diversion into the other side and I will purchase it again. I didn't rate it because I don't drink enough reds to feel I can confidently rate a white.
