  I quite like this wine. It is well-balanced, not overly grassy or herbal, yet with good cut. Bright yellow and thin-looking, it drinks bigger than it looks. Rich and fuller-bodied than most sauvignon blanc. Has good flower and honesuckle notes in the nose, and it carries over to the palate. Finishes pretty long. This wine is on the fat side, so if you are into high acids in your SB, this probably won't seem as good to you as it does to me. From the Central Coast. 4-12-16-8: 90/100.

  Grassy lemon and grapefruit nose, with touches of guava, melon, herbs, and a whiff of Tomcat. Soft and a little lean but offers good typicity, adequate crispness, and picks up melon on the finish. Very agreeable for any entry-level Sauvignon Blanc.

  Pale yellow color. Green pea, grapefruit, lemon-lime, vague herbal notes (marjoram ?) in the nose; very fresh with no oak. On arrival, medium-low acidity, lean. Tasty citrus and delicately "veggie". Crisp, matched well to grilled shrimp citrus, chili and basil. Quickly, an empty bottle - a good sign.
