Showing older than the age, wet wood and lemon custard on the nose. Body is full, seems weightier with all the oak. Could easily pass as a chard if not for the sour mango/underripe pineapple. Not sold on the structure or in your face oak
A bit of oak. More in the realm of the Fume Blanc from Grgich as opposed to other, more tart Sauvignon Blanc's. This was my second bottle, and on both occasions people who are not big wine drinkers had multiple glasses.

A departure from the grassy, bright Sauv Blancs that we see quite a bit of these days. This was rounder, not at all grassy, and with some oak. Still very flavorful and retaining some Sauv Blanc character. I enjoyed this quite a bit actually, even though I am decidedly not a fan of overt oak, but in this wine it worked.
