Really lovely nose - lots of tart stone fruit, boysenberry, grapefruit, lemon curd. Good mouth feel, nice acidity, leaves your mouth puckering. Paired with a Vietnamese dish at a BYOB place. Worked nicely. Tastes like a prototypical California sav blanc.

On the nose, I found tart lemon, green apple, and intense floral tones. At first, it came across as angular on the palate, yet zippy acidity quickly provided a burst of vibrant, focused green apple fruit and herbs. It’s lively, intense and really excites the palate. The finish was long with lingering citrus and a hint of bitter herbs.

Light yellow color. Typical sauvignon blanc herbal nose of boxwood and grass. The palate was an interesting blend of pear, grass, herbs, and lemon. While highly acidic, this light-bodied wine does not lose focus and distract from the fruit. Overall, it is an excellent blend of New Zealand's herbaceousness and acidity paired with California's pear and lemon profile. Well done.

A surprising delight - full bodied but not overbearing with good fruit and complexity in its finish - definitely will revisit this again...! served to family members, both younger and older - and all had praise for the experience!!!

Nice Sauvignon blanc, fruity, quite hard taste. IMHO a little to much unbalanced acidity (like the chardonnay).
