  At first strong minerality and lemon grass on the nose, after it opens more you find honey and grapefruit with a little pear .
  Nice straw color with grapefruit and lemon notes ending with honey and pear.

  The wine has low acidity. It smells like lemon, grapefruit and apple. The wine finishes medium. It tastes like peach, lemon and pear. The wine looks straw colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. The wine has flabby texture.

  Chilled on a warm spring day, this was all lemon up front:curd, merengue, verbena. After warming a touch, the minerality came though. With a little peppadew and goat cheese, the surprising sweetness mellowed and you got the more mineral notes. Clearly a very ripe Sav Blanc, really enjoyable on the deck in warm weather.

  Ripe and exotic - apricot, peach, over ripe pear, toasty spices. I like it. I can understand why others think its overdone.

  A touch of citrus, lemon and a bit of honey. Very nice for the price.
